This Course was incorrectly titled
“Alternative linocuts for Textiles” in the brochure. It should have been
called “Relief Printmaking” and the focus will indeed be on lino-cutting
but the emphasis will be printing on paper and using relief printmaking
in conjunction with collage and bookforms. There will be an opportunity
to print on fabric but please note this is not exclusively a textiles
course.
Take the
simple lino cut , make multi-colour prints, print on fabric, make a
simple artists’
book and experiment with combining lino relief printing with collage and
other techniques. These are many of the options open to you on this
innovative linocut course. You’ll begin by learning how to make a simple
linocut and progress over the 8 weeks to multi-colour linocuts with the
option to print on fabric and/or making a simple artists’ book in
combination with other techniques.
Materials
£29 extra.
