Join us for Linocut, an ever-popular and versatile printmaking process.

Jigsaw Linocut Christmas Cards Workshop

This is an incredible way to make colourful, detailed, handmade cards. Using linocutting with easy-cut lino, create a festive image to print. We will section out your image and cut it into 'jigsaw pieces' ready to ink in different colours and print.

Linocut is a printmaking process that uses sharp tools to cut into a lino block to make an image. This block is then rolled with ink and printed on paper. The image is taken from the surface of the lino and can be hand-printed or printed with a press.

It is an iconic printmaking process, using expressive mark-making techniques that focus on areas of light and dark to build up an image. It can capture fine details, as well as broad textural marks. Its applications are versatile, being used for original artworks to fabric patterns and wallpapers.

This in-person event is perfect if you like bold images that celebrate detail and line. You'll learn the basics of linocutting, starting with using the tools to cut your block, before understanding how to print your print both with hand-printed methods and a press.
