Please register online
Places are limited to 8 people and a waiting list will be maintained for future workshops.

This introductory course is being held over four consecutive Thursday evenings by experienced printmaker and tutor, Lisa Feyen.

Suitable for absolute beginners to printmaking, lino is a great place to start! It’s also a medium suitable for exploration if you’re not a total beginner, so don’t be shy to sign up and join in the fun. You can refresh your skills and extend them, trying out several different techniques.

You will be guided through the process of relief printmaking over a series of 4 evening classes, that will cover everything from where to look for inspiration, how to prepare your block, to using the CAN etching press to print your limited edition! Learn how to select, design and prepare a suitable image, transfer it to lino and carve your image into the block using lino cutting tools. We will initially be printing a small edition on paper, as we do it learning how to ink your block, register your paper using a template, and work a press.

In line with the current Covid-19 protection framework CAN is at the ORANGE setting, please wear a mask and observe social distancing when moving about the CAN venue. Vaccine certificates are not required.
