Single Day Workshop One-Colour Introductory Lino Block Printing - May 7th

This is a one-night introductory class on the basics of lino block printing using one colour. Lino printing is an easy and fun way to make bold prints of your art that have that hand made feel! 

Throughout the evening we will go over the basic fundamentals of lino carving, from initial sketch, to carving your design, setting up the press, and making final prints that you will be able to take home at the end of our 3 hour session. We will be using 4x6 lino printing on 5x7 paper, and we will only be printing using black ink during this class - but coloured paper will be available to experiment with! 

This class is great for both beginners and seasoned artists who want to get into the fun world of printmaking!
