Intro to Lino Printing - Nature themed

Join Kathy Hutton in her studio for a relaxed and practical introduction to the art of Lino Printing. Learn to design and carve your own lino block in this fun and sociable workshop. I've over 15 years of experience in teaching printing workshops, with my guidence you will learn how to create your own motifs, transfer them onto the lino block and learn the skils to carve out your design, creating your own priinting block. I'll then share my tips on inking up your lino and printing, showing you how to get even prints on different papers. You can print your own piece of art onto papers, cards and tags. I will have images and inspiration for you to work from, but please feel free to bring your own images if you already have something specific in mind. You will be working on a single colour print, but I'll also show you some simple ways to add extra colours to your work and you'll have time to experiment. I'll provide tea, coffee and homemade cake. Who can attend? This course is suitable for complete beginners and those wishing to recap or brush up on skills. There's no need to be confident at drawing, I can provide images that can be copied or traced. This course is aimed at Adults, however children aged 12+ are welcome when accompanied by a responsible adult. We will be using sharp lino tools, anyone under 18 must remain under the supervision of their responsible adult. Both the Child and Adult must book and take part in the workshop.
