linoprinting Masterclass with Karen Carter

Tuesday 16 May 2023 10am to 4pm, £65

This workshop is for adults (18+)

Learn how to go beyond the basics of the linoprinting process and venture into the world of reduction plates to produce a series of coloured prints in this structured but relaxed workshop, exploring colour, layering and simple registration.

The tutor will provide templates to work from so you can maximise the time spent developing the plate and producing your prints.  As each colour is printed, the plate is further cut away for the next colour until there is virtually nothing left of the plate! We will look at ways of making a basic registration device so all our layers match up beautifully.

By the end of the day you will have your own limited edition set of prints!

Suitable for students with a basic knowledge of lino-cutting.
