Linocut Weekend Workshop
Event description
LEARN A NEW SKILL with Gillian Kline at Freestone Press, a fully functioning Printmaking Studio.
Learn the process of transferring the image of your choice, either a photo thatyou love or original drawing of your own, re-sized to the lino dimensions, that you would like to represent as a lino cut. You will be taken through the process of getting your image transferred to a lovely piece of silk cut lino, shown how to cut the lino successfully using a range of lino cutting tools and techniques and finally to inking up with high quality Caligo safe wash, relief ink, and printed on some high- quality print making paper, Fabriano Rosisapina, by a purpose- built relief press, which you will learn to use.
You will come out of a 2- day workshop with an edition of 5 of your prints.
This workshop will be facilitated by Inward Goods, providing Camping facilities and 3 meals a day lovingly cooked for you by the Inward Goods team.
INWARD GOODS will also take you to Blue Pools for a swim, found just up the road from Freestone Press!
