Linocut Printmaking Workshop with Anna Laimo | Saturday 1/25-2/8 | 10am-1pm | Spring 2025
Workshops | Available
In this 3 week intensive, learn the basics (+more!) of linocut print to create hand-made works of art! Linocut is a reductive printmaking process achieved by removing material from a linoleum block, leaving behind a printable image. You will get familiar with techniques such as hand pulling and rainbow rolls, all while learning to plan and visualize various reductive printmaking projects.
Week 1 - The Basics
On day 1, learn basic linocut safety and procedure. Learn to think reductively, carve linoleum, roll out ink, roll up blocks, and pull prints! We will focus on printing in solid color and practice hand pulling. Students will create their own stamp design.
Week 2 - Color and Shape
On day 2, learn intermediate techniques like color blocking, layering, and rainbow rolls. Come prepared with ideas! More complicated designs require forethought and planning- sketches and outlines are helpful.
Week 3 - Get Creative
On day 3, come prepared with ideas and blocks that have been carved at home. Be creative! Research on pinterest, youtube, and in books to better understand what is possible with linocut. We will work together to plan a print that showcases your new skills.
All materials will be provided
