Sunday Afternoon Lino Printing Workshop at Edinburgh Sewcial Club
Discover the rewarding art of lino printing in this creative Sunday afternoon workshop at Edinburgh Sewcial Club. Perfect for complete beginners and creative enthusiasts alike, this hands-on class will introduce you to the traditional printmaking techniques used to create bold, contemporary designs that you can print again and again.
Lino printing is a fine art printmaking process where designs are carved into linoleum to create a reusable printing block. Guided by an experienced tutor, you'll explore the creative possibilities of this versatile craft, taking inspiration from artists such as Matisse to develop your own striking geometric patterns and original designs.
Throughout the workshop, you'll build practical printmaking skills as you learn how to:
Design and transfer your artwork onto lino.
Safely use lino cutting tools to create a variety of textures, lines and patterns.
Understand how different carving techniques affect the final print.
Mix and roll printing inks to achieve the ideal consistency.
Hand-print your designs onto a range of surfaces for crisp, professional-looking results.
Once you've mastered the basics, you'll print your original designs onto high-quality paper, greetings cards and fabric. All materials are provided - you'll complete the day by making a final desin on a tote-bag.
By the end of the session, you'll have created your own reusable lino printing block, a collection of beautiful handmade prints, and a unique hand-printed item. More importantly, you'll leave with the confidence, practical skills and creative knowledge to continue exploring lino printing at home, making this an inspiring introduction to a timeless printmaking craft.
