Would you like to learn the art of linocut? Come and join Northamptonshire based linocut printmaker Kat Lendacka. You will leave with a selection of prints and greeting cards and a new skill you can keep improving at home! In this workshop, we will be looking at linocuts of animals and you will be creating your own.ABOUT LINOCUT… AND WHAT YOU WILL DO
Linocut is a printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum or vinyl is used for a relief surface.
You will be using a set of ABIG tools with changeable blades and wooden handles and a type of grey vinyl, Easy Carve, which can be easily bought online. The advantage of this type of vinyl is the contrast between the surface and the carved area. There are many brilliant water based relief inks out there too. There is no smell and absolutely washable with warm water in kitchen sinks! It has never been easier to immerse yourself into linocut printing at home.
In 3 hours and 45 minutes, you will learn the basics of linocut. You will learn about carving tools, materials and where to buy them. You will learn how to transfer your drawing onto a carving block and how to make various marks with different tools, gain confidence and control. Finally, you will learn how to print your block using water based ink simply using a spoon. You will go home with a selection of greeting cards and prints.
