Lino Printmaking Class: Botticelli's Birth of Venus

Lino Printing: Botticelli's Birth of Venus
In this printing class, you’ll explore the beautiful and expressive world of lino printing, taking inspiration from Botticelli's iconic painting Birth of Venus.

You’ll begin by learning the fundamentals of carving, inking, and printing, using mark making techniques as a starting point. You’ll create your own unique interpretation of this timeless design that you can take home at the end!

A pre-drawn outline will be provided, allowing you to focus on the mindful, meditative process of carving. For those who feel adventurous, there’s also the option to adapt or redesign the composition in your own creative way.

The carving process is calm and rhythmic, while the inking and printing stage brings energy and excitement as your image comes to life on paper. By the end of the class, you’ll have up to 5 prints of your finished design to take home - perfect to frame or gift!
