Linocut for ALL! (Artists)
Wednesday 4th June. 10am - 4pm
Gallery & Project Space - Marlborough House
Join Jonathan Brennan on this one-day workshop for artists new to printmaking where you will explore the technique of linocut. You will learn how to plan, carve and print a black and white linocut print. You will leave equipped with the knowledge and skills to begin printing your own linocut prints at home or in your studio.
To many of us linocut is a distant school memory – blunt tools and old lino. Generally it is a practice we rarely, if ever, return to despite its adoption by artists from the Die Brücke movement, Picasso, and Matisse.
You will learn about choosing images suitable for linocut, working in negative and reverse, transferring your image, how to carve it, ink it and print it using a baren or spoon, making a registration sheet, signing and editioning your work. We will work with blocks of lino approximately 15cm x 20cm in size.
Participants are asked to bring two or three suitably sized images which they will carve in order to make a linocut print. Bold, black and white images or marker drawings work well, nothing too detailed.
This workshop is capped at 7 participants, includes breaks plus a simple vegatarian lunch.
