🌻Plan a creative retreat for yourself and discover the art of Linoprinting in this 2 full day course at The Pines Calyx, a beautiful costal venue surrounded by large gardens.
In a relaxed and comprehensive approach to this traditional printing technique you will learn how to sketch out your own unique designs, carve them into hessian-backed linoleum blocks (the most eco-friendly option available), and print as many as you wish on a variety of quality paper, using water based ink.
You will even create a multi-layer linoprints in the second class, building on your skills. All materials and refreshments are included.
The full day format of this course will allow you more time to create more detailed pieces than our typical shorter workshops. You might even create several if you choose a simple image.
The class numbers are intentionally small for an intimate setting and ensures you get all the guidance and support you need to create prints you can be proud of (that is not to say that mistakes aren’t a part of the learning process 😉).
Every stage of lino printing is satisfying and stimulating in different ways, and the distinctive and bold prints it produces are very visually pleasing. This very well might become the start of a new obsession!
