We will start with a 30 min lecture introducing you to these type of cut technique, different stages of process and possibilities of cutting. Then we will get right into practice. First we will transfer the image onto A5 DIN linoleum the linoleum, then we will begin the process of cutting the shape for preparation and finally we will begin printing on the printing press. Each participant will have the opportunity to create their own drawing according to their personal design. In this master class you will make 1-3 copies of one print on A4 DIN paper.
A linocut is a type of relief print. Relief printing is when a piece of paper is “stamped” with ink from the top surface of the plate. Linoleum is very soft and therefore the best material for making engravings. When you carve your lino you are cutting away the area that will be white and leaving the area that will be black (or coloured if you are printing in colour). Linocuts were originally made popular by Picasso, while before that they were simply regarded as a student’s medium to practise for woodcuts.
