Relief Printing – The Art of Lino Cutting (SOLD OUT)
A one day workshop offered by the Emu Park Art Gallery with Susan Head, an accomplished lino printer. In this workshop, after a short history of relief painting, you will be introduced to the craft of lino printing. After creating a sampler with a variety of cuts in the lino, you will move onto a larger piece, using your own ideas. This will comprise of two colours, therefore several pieces of lino cut will be cut, inked, aligned and printed. This workshop will give you a thorough grounding in the basics of lino printing.
The term “relief” refers to any process in print making where the original flat surface of the wood or lino block represents the printing surface. Any parts of the design not to be printed are cut away, leaving the image raised in relief. This is inked with a roller and transferred to paper by direct pressure either by hand or a printing press.
Please wear protective clothing and closed-in shoes. If anyone has lino cutting tools of their own, do bring those along. Also, pens, pencils, rubber and ruler, scrap paper and some ideas for the final lino piece.
Morning tea provided – bring your own lunch – food outlets close by.
