Printmaking for All : Term 4 – Woodcut & Lino
Lino and Woodcut is one of the most widely known forms of relief printmaking. It is the raised surface that contains the positive image that is printed. The background area or negative space is carved away leaving white or non printed areas. This print process allows a variety of mark making using different woodcutting tools and sandpapers giving you a variety of line and tonal quality. There are endless possibilities with this print process from four colour separation and multi block printing, allowing good colour experimentation and arrangement options.
The evening printmaking class is open to everyone of all levels who wants to learn fundamental printmaking skills and add some creativity to their life.
Our printmaking course offers beginner and intermediate students the opportunity to discover the endless possibilities that this medium can offer. Terms may be attended either individually or as a continuous year of study.
We will cover a wide range of printmaking techniques throughout the year, in a non-toxic environment and use water-based inks. Each term a new print process will be introduced giving students an excellent printmaking overview.
This hands-on course will cover the finer techniques of printmaking, demonstrating good ink applications, colour roll-up techniques and chine collé throughout each print process.
Demonstrations will be delivered at each stage, supported by documentation and open discussions. By the end of the year, students will hold a cohesive body of work showing a good development of ideas and have a good understanding of basic printmaking techniques.
"For me it’s about making an impression of something, introducing new ideas and skills that students can include and extend on into their own practice" Alexis Neal
