Intro to Linocut with Emilie

More than just a floor covering!  Did you know that linocut has been used in printing for over a century and this technique was originally for making wallpaper?  Printing with linocut is similar to woodcut printmaking but a bit easier to work with (because it has no grain to consider like wood).

In this class, you will learn the entire process spanning designing, carving, inking and printing your own unique design!

What will we cover?

In this class, you will learn all you need to know to make your first linocut and take home a limited edition print of your own design (signed by the artist of course!).

If you have a particular image in mind, you can bring some photos or preparatory drawings. No worries if you don’t – we’ll help you work on your design as well!

Who will be teaching?

Emilie is a Melbourne based artist and maker, currently finishing her PhD at the Victorian College of the Arts. She moved from France and 2014 and has been developing her art practice since, working with a range of media, from video to printmaking and 3D printing. Emilie is also a comic book artist. Her illustration has been published by The Lifted Brow, and she self-published her first graphic novel in 2018 with Tree Paper Comics in Melbourne.
