One day linocut workshop at my brand new garden studio in Bicester, Oxfordshire. 10am-4pm.

I’ll show you how to create a small reduction lino print. A reduction linocut is a multi-layered print which is created by repeated cutting and printing from the same block of lino. The tuition is suitable for beginners or improvers. I’ll provide all the equipment and materials you will need. We will be working on lino which is 10x15cm, using around four colours.

We will cover how to plan a design and transfer it to the lino; how to cut the lino; how to ink up the lino and how to print it by hand so that you can easily replicate the process at home with minimal equipment. You will also learn how to correctly register your prints. We will be using water based inks and soft cut lino. You will leave with a small run of prints.

Please bring along a few images or drawings that inspire you and a bite to eat for lunch.
