Create Original Linocut Prints Workshop
Based in Copenhagen Make Your Own Linocut Print Workshop will provide all the tricks to get you started on your introduction to basic print techniques . Printmaking is a fun way to create images that can be used as poster art, t-shirt & fabric designs, propaganda prints, or limited edition fine art prints. It's great for handmade gifts or extravagant hate messages. Great for singles, couples, groups, travelers and locals. (Write to me for larger groups).
I will guide you through all the steps to make some rather impressive prints. Within the day we should have drawn out, carved and inked up your linoleum which will be transferred to paper.
All materials are provided: linoleum, carving tools, inks, papers, caffeine, etc... band aid if required :) .
2 to 3 prints (of the same image) at the end of the day without chopping up your fingers is the aim, and a rather realistic one. We do use cutting tools, but with a bit of common sense, it's easy to avoid self mutilation. Guests will get to take the carved block home so you can make as many prints as they like with very few tools required. Christmas and birthday presents are sorted for everyone.
Guests can return to pick up the prints or if unable we can dry them with a hairdryer to avoid expensive postage costs.
I look forward to getting you hooked to this fun, creative way of expressing yourself in print.
