Description
Introduction to Lino Printing
11.30 – 14.30 Sunday 29th September Fabrication York.
Learn the basics of lino printing: from carving to inking to printing a lino block (A6 size) with Rachel Holborow of RK Wanderings printmaking – an experienced teacher, member of York Printmakers and York Open Studios artist.
In this three hour workshop you will begin by learning about the tools and materials of lino printmaking; design your own lino block (you can bring an idea (A6 drawing, high contrast photo, or collage) of what you might like to print) and then carve your block; then experiment with printing it. We will use water based inks, which are non-toxic and easy to clean up.
There will be a maximum of 5 participants and you must be over 18 to take part.
Be aware, you will use sharp tools at your own risk! (Safety tips will be covered at the beginning of the workshop and must be adhered to.)
All materials for the workshop are included in the price, and you can take home the lino block you carve and your prints.
Total cost for this 3 hour workshop is £38 which includes workshop materials, use of equipment and tuition + tea and biscuits. Please let me know allergen requirements at least 48 hours prior to the workshop.
This class will be held in Fabrication York at 19 Coney St, York YO1 9QL
Access: The Fabrication shop has level access to the street. The class area is on the first floor accessed via 2 flights of stairs. Toilets are on the first floor and accessed via three sets of fire doors.
