Follow On Print - Linocut Afternoon

This follow on course is perfect for those who wish to take their relief printing further and those who have completed Intro to Print. Broken into two weeks, you will explore reduction linocutting to create a small edition of a three layer linocut print. Sarah will show you how to work from one single block, and you will learn how to cut and add colour by printing in stages, removing more from the surface of the block as you register and print in layers. You will learn about print registration, colour and planning your layered image ready to translate into beautiful relief printwork.

Course Structure

Week one

• Planning your 3 layer print
• Image transfer and first layer cut
• Inking and proofing first layer
• Planning second layer
• You may take tools home to work in your own time if you wish

Week two

• Cutting layer two and three
• Inking and proofing

Individual progress can vary from the above, relative to the image complexity and participants preference.
