PATTERN & PRINT - LINOCUT PRINT WORKSHOP

Come and explore the traditional art of lino block printing. This form of print can be translated onto many surfaces. In this workshop, you will create a concept for your very own pattern using books, fabrics and reference images if you need a bit of inspiration.

Under the guidance of your tutor Antonietta Torsiello, you will transfer and carve your hand drawn design onto a lino block and create a print to take home with you after the class.

Lino printing is an extremely popular form of printmaking, used by many professional artists. Although this is now the case, for a long-time lino printing was held in low esteem by the art world, until a certain Pablo Picasso made a series of lino prints in the 1950s. That saw the start of a trend that still flourishes today. 

The tutor Antonietta is local award winning artist who has been exhibiting her art work for the last 7 years and delivering workshops to adults and children for the past 4 years. These include various mixed media & printmaking classes for kids, lino cut, upholstery for beginners and pottery painting classes.
