Summer School - Lino Printing Day - Putney School of Art and Design

Summer School – Lino Printing Day

With the guidance of an experienced printmaker, you will be able to develop and print your design in just one day.

What The Course is About:

The course will cover the creation of your design, colour mixing and finishing to a professional standard whilst exploring relief printing using lino blocks in just one day. The workshop begins with the basic techniques through planning your design, creating your linocut block, mixing colours and printing onto a range of paper.

Materials Required:

You should bring any material (drawings, photographs, found imagery, objects etc) you wish to make works with or from. This is not essential as students may wish to arrive with a totally 'blank canvas', drawing inspiration from the school, the local area, the library. Others may wish to work in a purely abstract or imaginary mode. MATERIALS FOR YOUR COURSE: We have a generously stocked art shop, which opens daily. Available from the Shop: Selected specialist papers, Lino Spirit-based felt-tip pen Please bring any of the above, if you have them, and in addition, any cutting tools.

Previous Experience:

Beginners and experienced artists welcome.

End of course:

What will I achieve? By the end of the sessions you will have gained knowledge and skills in linocut printmaking.
