Print

This course is ideal for attendees keen to further develop their relief printmaking skills. It teaches a more gestural approach to lino, combining the classical skill of carving a lino block with a contemporary approach to etching its surface with caustic soda. Bringing together painterly textures and graphic forms in a colourful multi-block print.

You will learn:

• how to etch lino with a caustic soda solution which allows you to make loose, expressive, painterly marks
• how to combine them with the graphic lines and forms of lino cut
• how to use these contrasts of mark making, together with colour and transparency, in a multi-block print.
