This beginners linocut printmaking workshop is intended for people with little to no previous experience in printmaking. This workshop will cover in depth explanation about image transfer, printmaking papers, carving tools, registration, inking, and printing. This workshop offers the hands-on experience needed in order to create an edition of 5 - 10 small prints.
Students should come to class with an idea or example of the imagery they will carve on a 8”x 5” linoleum block. They will learn to properly lock-up, register, and print their block on our printing presses.
Linoleum carving is a common method used by printers to create illustrations and other shape-based elements in their print projects.
Cost of workshop includes materials, instruction by S-R staff and takeaway prints. Paper in this workshop is from French Paper Company, a small Michigan Paper Mill around for more than 140 years.
