Making a Good Impression – Linocut Printmaking

with Michelle Wiebe

June 12, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm


Price: $100.41

In this class, students will learn the basics of linocut printmaking. The instructor will teach students about composition, safe cutting techniques and how to pull prints. Participants will leave with a variety of hand-printed projects, their own carved blocks as well as the skill to practice at home using basic art materials. Excellent for beginner and intermediate linocut students.

Audience: This workshop is suitable for both beginners with a desire to start printing or intermediate artists wishing to develop a more in-depth printmaking practice!

Supplies:

• All supplies are included. You may choose to bring your own images to use as references during the workshop.

• If you have your own set of linocut tools, feel free to bring them with you to class (even if you haven’t used them before!)

• A notebook/sketchbook + pen for taking notes

• Reading glasses if you need them for fine work

• Please bring a lunch and a water bottle for the day. Located in a rural community, the Leighton Art Centre is a 15 to 20-minute drive away from the nearest convenience store or quick-stop for lunch.
