Lino cutting for Beginners and Rusty Printmakers Friday 13th October 2023
Description
Next promoted date : Friday 13th October 2023 Lino cutting and printing is a very enjoyable process that can be explored at our kitchen tables and requires a minimum of specialist equipment. Many of us may remember creating our first linocut during our Art lessons at secondary school. If you are looking to learn a new creative skill, but need a process that can be “picked up and put down” and fitted around a busy life, this may well be the technique you have been looking for. Working from your chosen images, this one day workshop will introduce you to one colour lino cutting and printing. This is the perfect introduction to this addictive print process, with a particular focus on how you may continue developing your skills in your own home. However, if you have previous experience of lino cutting, but would benefit from a few prompts and reminders, it’s likely that you would be able to progress quicker and develop a two colour lino print. We will cover developing ideas into designs, safe cutting techniques, alongside hand printing. Single colour prints can also be developed by printing onto coloured backgrounds and exploring collage techniques. The workshop will be held in our C18th Long Barn on our working farm in The Meon Valley. It is an inspirational building in the beautiful South Downs National Park. The workshop will be delivered by Liz Wellby on Thursday 13th October. About the Tutor Liz Wellby is a versatile and experienced artist, teacher and maker, with a particular interest in sculpture and printmaking. Following the completion of a Fine Arts degree at Loughborough University and subsequent post-graduate studies, she returned to Derbyshire, where for over 25 years she has lived and worked. Liz now lives and works on the edge of the Peak District, kept company by her husband and cat called Bert. The workshop will include all materials and use of equipment, with refreshments served throughout the day; runs from 10 - 4pm and costs £95 - just bring your lunch.
