Service Description

This Course runs over 3 consecutive Thursday evenings in May, and is suitable for beginners and those with some prior experience. We will be exploring how we can create a multi-colour floral lino cut using the colour reduction method of printing. This involves cutting and printing the same lino block in different stages to build up an image in layers. In the intimate and inspiring Crafty Happenings workshop space, you will be surrounded with creativity and inspiration! Spend three evenings in May learning this absorbing craft,as you explore: - the materials and equipment required to create your very own Lino print - the basic principles and terminology of printmaking - test out your mark-marking and carving skills - understand the stages necessary to create a colour reduction lino print - cut and print your design in planned stages, to build up your image - Take your prints home with you - ready to hang immediately! Our designs for this workshop will be based on a single flower head or bloom. Flowers with some structure and detail will work well for this project. Bring along any photos, sketches, or digital images that you would like to use for inspiration. There will also be some materials in the workshops you can use for inspiration on the day.
