Introduction to printmaking - Reduction Lino printing
Event description
Bayley Arts is fast becoming a popular hub for printmakers and people are loving our introduction to printmaking classes held once a month.
Join artist Cecilia Jacobs in a special workshop focused on the fundamentals of reduction lino printing.
Learn how to use layering and reduce a block lino to create a multi-layered print. This is a great opportunity for students who have come to our previous lino class to expand on what they have learnt or for students new to relief printing. You will also learn how to use a printing press and the type of tools and papers used for printmaking. Whether you are a beginner or looking to brush up on your printmaking skills, this class offers one-to-one tuition in a small group setting.
You can join Cecilia once a month at our ‘*Saturday social print club’ so you can continue to use our printing press with fellow printmakers and exchange ideas.
Cost
$110 or $100 concession (includes tools and materials)
Max of 6 students.
