Jigsaw Linocut Printmaking Workshop
10:00am - 4:00pm
Would you like to learn the magic of making colourful prints in just one printing layer? Have you previously attended a beginner linocut course? Yes? Then this is the workshop for you! The jigsaw linocut technique is an advanced technique that teaches you composition through creative play with shape, line and colour. In this one-day workshop you’ll be able to create a design suitable for jigsaw linocut, confidently cut and carve your design, experiment with colour, print a small edition and create a jigsaw lino block to take away with you to print again and again! This workshop is suitable for adults aged 18 years and above, beginners, improvers and those looking for some experimental fun! Places are limited to a maximum of 8 people per workshop, so you have plenty of time to ask questions and have the help you need. All tools, equipment and materials are provided, although if you have your own set of linocut tools and feel more confident using these, please do bring them along. Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided throughout the day, please bring your own lunch, or you can pop out to the wonderful cafe around the corner from the gallery for something special. There is pay and display parking nearby at the Court Street car park. If you have any questions or would like more information please contact me on the details below.
