Linocut Texturing Techniques
Class | Available
Elevate your prints using various texturing techniques to create more visual interest.
In this class, we will learn how to plan a simple design, transfer an image onto a linoleum block and dive into creating works of art through the use of mark making while showcasing your own self-expression.
Students will go home with their own carved block, multiple prints, and a solid understanding of how various carved marks enhances definition and creativity.
- 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 accommodations 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.
