Beginner Linocut Printmaking
Class | Available
No experience necessary! All supplies included!
Learn the basics of linoleum block printing:
- how to plan a simple design- how to use carving tools safely and effectively- how to ink and hand print your design
Students will go home with multiple prints and a carved block.
PLEASE NOTE: While Linoleum is softer than wood, the carving process can still be physically demanding and may be challenging for those with limited hand strength or dexterity. Participants are encouraged to work at their own pace, and accomodations will be available for those with limited hand strength. Please reach out in advance if you have accessibility needs - we will do our best to make adjustments.
