Carve, Ink and Print: Introduction to Lino Printing

Carve, Ink and Print: Introduction to Lino Printing runs at Brightwells Yard on Thursday 29 October, starting at 12:30. It's a workshop for anyone who's never tried lino printing before, so you don't need to bring any experience with you.

The session takes you through the three stages the title points to: carving, inking, and printing. You'll start by carving your design into a lino block, then roll ink over the surface, and finally press it onto paper to make your print. It's a straightforward process, and you'll leave with your own finished prints to take home.

If you've been wanting to try printmaking but weren't sure where to start, this is a good place to pick it up. It's an introductory session, so it's designed for beginners rather than people who already have a practice. You'll get to work through the whole process in one go, from the first cut of the tool to the final print coming off the block.

It's at Brightwells Yard, Old Market Place, Farnham, GU9 7WD, in Reading. The workshop starts at 12:30 on Thursday 29 October.
