This beginner-friendly linoleum relief printing course begins by giving you an overview of the history of relief printmaking, and of contemporary artists working within the medium. After discussing the basics of composition, you'll spend time developing a drawing or idea, and learn different ways to represent that image by cutting designs into linoleum. This medium is also called "linocut!"
Each student will leave the class with an understanding of--and experience in--carving and "editioning" (i.e. using your linoleum carving and ink to produce one or more relief prints) a linoleum print; their linoleum carving; and their print(s)!
Please bring the following with you:
- Sketchbook/sketch paper
- Writing utensils of your choice
All other supplies are included!
