About the course
This course will provide you with a comprehensive introduction to the linocut printmaking process. Firstly, you will explore the Garden to gather seasonal inspiration for your prints through drawing and photography before returning to the Classroom. Here, Hannah will guide you through the whole linocut process from sketching your design to carving and printing your block. You will be encouraged to explore mark-making and experiment with inking and embellishment techniques. You will leave with new ideas, a stack of linocut prints ready to frame or gift and your hand-carved block.
Suitable for beginners
