Description
Multiblock lino printing | led by Victoria Willmott at Centrespace Studio | all materials provided | open to all abilities. Spend the day getting hands-on with lino printing in a relaxed, creative space. This workshop is all about slowing down, experimenting, and making something you’ll be proud to take home and frame. We’ll start with drawing and developing ideas before transferring your design onto lino and carving your block. In the afternoon, you’ll get to ink up and print your design onto a range of beautiful papers — playing with colour and texture. Whether you’re completely new to printmaking or picking it up again, you’ll get plenty of one-to-one guidance and space to explore your own ideas. The day: • Arrive from 9:50am-10am. • Lunch 12.30pm - 1.30pm. • Finish by 4pm. You can bring along your own imagery for inspiration, or choose from a selection of reference materials on the day. You’ll leave with a finished collection of prints and the know-how to carry on printing at home with simple tools and materials.

Maker
Bristol Print Collective deliver printmaking workshops in pop up venues in galleries, festivals and community spaces. Our aim is to keep the traditions of printmaking alive by offering accessible and engaging workshops for all members of society. Bristol Print Collective was founded by artists Jemma Gunning and Victoria Willmott. We met in 2015 whilst studying an MA in Multi-disciplinary Printmaking at University of West of England, Bristol. We found we each shared an interest for discovering DIY lo-tech printmaking and explored creative processes to make printmaking workshops transportable without large equipment. In this way our workshops show how printmaking can be enjoyed outside of a studio in any environment and for all ages and abilities.We wish to encourage adults who may not have an artistic background to explore their creativity whilst learning a new skill. Demonstrating the creative and limitless possibilities we hope to inspire younger generations and other likeminded artists to pick up an apron and get inky.
