Relief Printing Weekend


Weekend Course

On 13&14 April, 22&23 June, 27&28 July, 5&6 October or 14&15 December - explore ways of creating striking images with this simple yet powerful print medium process. Cutting images into wood or linoleum and inking up with colour can produce bold dramatic effects. This course will explore the diverse range of ways which artists use this direct process, looking at the practicalities of reduction printing (printing multiple layers from the same block, revealing colours through carving).

On the 14th & 15th of December this weekend course will have a special festive theme. You can print cards, wrapping paper, or a beautiful fine art print to gift to a loved one. Book on to the 14th of December to join this special workshop!

Please note - from the 27th of July, this course will slightly change to have an emphasis on working with wood. It will be titled Wood Cut Printing Weekend, and will cover the same techniques but giving you more insight into working with the subtlety of wood, it's grain and how to print multiple colours with it. The skills learned will also be applicable to lino printing.

This course is very hands-on, practical, and fun. You will be trying out lino &/or Japanese ply to cut from and explore the benefits of using different types so paper for printing. Bring a sketch or a simple digital file we can print out. The image size will be up to a maximum of A4.
