Nature Prints: Intro to Lino Printing
The Discerning Palette, Thornbury
6:15 PM - 8:45 PM
Join artist Frances Daws for a fun, informative, hands-on introduction to the art of Lino Printing.
You will learn how to design, carve and print your very own piece of handmade art with expert teaching in the relaxed, welcoming environment of Discerning Palette Gallery. Bring your own ideas and images to work from or use the inspiration provided in the workshop, Frances will also provide a selection of images and botanicals to help you create a folky nature inspired piece.
Demonstrations will be given on how to design and transfer your design to Lino, how to carve an image, achieve variety in line and detail and how to ink up a lino well for a strong even print. You will use a printing press to print your image with a selection of handmade and printmaking papers to try. You will be creating a one colour print but will also have a chance to be creative by introducing colour with the method of chine-collé, the layering of thin coloured papers.
