During this one day course at Bluecoat, you will be guided through the basics of Linocut, an enjoyable process that makes a perfect introduction to printmaking.

You will learn how to transfer an image onto your lino, carve your lino blocks and create a small edition of 2-colour prints.

You will also gain insight on the materials and tools used, and how you can continue the process as home. Tickets cost £70.

‘Linocut printing involves cutting away from a block of linoleum, and inking and printing the uncut areas. When you place your carved, inked up block face down on a sheet of paper, the printed image will appear as a mirror image to how you have carved your block. Areas you have cut away will remain the white of the paper you print on.’
