In these bi-weekly sessions, we get together, play records, draw and experiment. Bringing records is encouraged!
LINO PRINTS
Linocut, or lino printing, is a playful and tactile printmaking technique that allows for reproduction. By carving into linoleum and printing by hand, drawings are transformed into bold, textured prints—each one slightly different, each one unique. In the fist part of our session, we will develop our designs and draw them out on a semi-transperant paper. Then they will be transferred onto the linoleum sheet and carved with special chisels. The last step is to cover them with special paint and press them onto the paper.
• one-time transfer | create a simple one or two colour design
• three-time transfer | create a more intricate multi-coloured design
