Reduction Linocut

Find out how to use a single block of Lino to make a multicoloured print on this introduction to the ‘reduction’ method of making a Linocut. This technique uses successive layers of printed colour, with each layer a bit of image is cut away and then overprinted with the next colour. Thus as each layer is printed it reveals the colour printed before, building up create to a multicoloured print.

The exciting challenge of thinking in reverse and working from light to dark requires some mental agility however this course aims to demystify the process and will be suitable for beginners and those with some experience of Linocut printing.

In this weekend workshop all aspects of developing a reduction linocut will be explored. Working from their own projects and designs, participants will be guided through each step of the process from transferring designs, cutting methods, registration techniques, inking and printing a small edition of multicolour linocut prints.

Basic materials, tools, ink and paper will be provided. Additional materials may be available to buy from the tutor or the art shop next door. We limit our course numbers to 6 - in order for you to get the most from our tutors and the facilities.
