Maybe you remember cutting a lino block in school. Or perhaps you make potato prints or used rubber stamps. All of these are examples of relief printing. A design is cut into a flat surfaced material, ink applied to the remaining surface and transfered to paper. The 'Reduction' process, made famous by Picasso, allows you to cut and print several times creating a multi-coloured print from just one block.

In this one-day workshop, you will create a three or four colour prints in a small edition, using basic printmaking tools and techniques. Learn how to design and cut the lino block to create values and textures, mix custom colours, register your paper, and ink and print your lino block. We will discuss the long standing traditions of signing and numbering of prints and options for presentation.

For beginners and up with instructor Anne Jones
