Young at Art - Lino Printing with Rachel Moore
Join resident artist, Rachel from iPrintedThat for a linocut workshop.
In this session we’ll be carving a simple design and using the jigsaw technique to add colour to our prints, creating layered results without the complexity of multiple blocks.
As this is a relatively short session, Rachel asks that you bring a design with you. This can be a drawing or a computer printout. Keep your design simple and postcard size (10cm x 15cm / approximately 4” x 6”). If you’re stuck for ideas then a quick Google for “linocut cut print”, for example, will bring up lots of options.
Suitable for beginners. £10pp
