Linocutting - Daytime Class 8 weeks - 24 Apr - 12 Jun 2013
Wednesdays 10am to 12.30pm
Beginners to advanced students
$240
Using this traditional relief printing technique, we will make linocut prints.
Linocutting requires very little equipment and yet it allows you to produce striking works of art. This course will cater for both beginners and advanced students. We will start with black and white prints. However, colour printing techniques will also be taught for those who would like to explore this.
A 15x15cm linoblock will be provided for each student in the first class, as well as paper and ink for printing. Linocutting tools will be made available for students although you may wish to purchase your own set of tools for subsequent classes. A basic set costs about $13; a good quality set will cost about $130. We will discuss tools and materials in the first class.
Classes are held in the studio at Castaways Beach: address details will be sent to you on enrolment.
