Weekend Course - Big Linocuts!

Taking inspiration from Robert Taverner’s beautiful linocut prints which will be on display in our gallery, this course will show you how to make big, bold, colourful linocuts using one A3-size lino block, some simple tools and our large hand-printing press. You will be shown how to make the most of printing from one block, using stencils, masks and blends to build up layers of colour.
