Learn how to design, cut and print patterns or designs into a lino block and make beautiful artworks. If all you know about lino is the stuff on the floor then this class will be a real eye opener, and great fun.

Everything is provided for the four week course so there's no need to buy materials or equipment. You will take home your lino/s and can use them to carry on printing at home.

We'll cover different carving techniques, talk about paper registration and editioning and experiment with layering and different ways to add colour to prints – colour rolls, chine colle, multi block prints, jigsaw prints and reduction prints.

By the end of the course you will have printed your linos on a range of papers for framing, to make greetings cards, give as presents or swap with others in the class.

This course is perfect for beginners, or maybe those who have done a little bit of relief printing.

Cost per person $240 for 4 weeks with all materials provided including lino/s, printmaking ink and paper.

No experience needed.

Price is $240 per person and includes:

Four x 2.5 hour face to face workshops

All materials and use of necessary tools and equipment each week
