Lino and Wood-cut Relief Printmaking

6 weekly evening classes 6pm – 9pm Tues 28th January – 3rd March 2020

One of the simplest forms of printmaking this age old technique can be one of the hardest to master. The class will look at how differing materials such as wood and Lino can be used to create striking graphic effects, taking inspiration from some of the great exponents of the art. We will look at ways to print in black and white, as well as reduction printing to achieve multiple colours from a single block.

  1. Dear Bill Chambers

    I am interested in the etching course below- are there still places available and could you tell me a bit about the structure of the course and what materials are supplied in the cost?

    Thanks very much,

    1. Dear Cath, That would be great if you can join the class. There are some in the class that are experienced but you don’t need to be as i will take you through the process step by step. I start the course with a talk to give a rough over view of etching then the rest of the time is entirely practical. Included on the course are all the basic materials to make an etching such as a piece of copper, cartridge paper and inks etc. If you wish to use additional or larger copper or better quality paper then these are available to purchase at cost price from the workshop.Best wishes, Bill
