Linocut

In this printmaking course, you will learn the basics of Linocut, a versatile and accessible relief printing technique. You’ll learn how to design an image, carve it onto a linoblock, and create beautiful prints, whether by producing identical copies or experimenting with variations. Linocut printmaking helps you refine your artistic skills, particularly your sense of composition and balance. You’ll also explore creative techniques, such as turning your linoblock into puzzle-like pieces, layering prints, and using the reduction method to add depth and texture with just one block.

Through learning a brief history of relief printing, Alma will present a variety of artistic approaches towards Woodcut & Linocut techniques.

We will be printing without a press.
