Workshop Breakdown
🔹 Week 1 – Making Your First Impression
Get to grips with the basics! Learn about linocut history, how to transfer a design, carve safely, and pull your very first mono print—a one-of-a-kind print full of texture and personality.
🎨 Week 2 – Multi-Block Layering
It’s time to level up! We’ll explore how to carve multiple blocks and layer them together to create dynamic, multi-coloured prints. Learn how colours interact, overlap, and transform your work into something magical!
🧩 Week 3 – Jigsaw Printing
Think outside the block! This week, you’ll master the jigsaw technique, where multiple carved pieces fit together like a puzzle. Experiment with different colors, plan compositions, and discover how to create stunning, stitched-together prints.
✂️ Week 4 – Reduction Printing
The grand finale! Learn how to layer and reduce your block with each pass, carving away as you go to create depth and detail. This method requires a mix of planning and improvisation—perfect for embracing those unexpected (but often brilliant) surprises!
