Lino-cut printmaking (3 colour) with Gary Goodman

Gary Goodman is leading a three-colour lino printing workshop at the Museum & Art Gallery on Saturday 7 November, from 14:00 to 16:30. It's a hands-on session focused on the reduction method, which is a bit of a different beast from the usual one-off print: instead of using separate blocks for each colour, you work from a single piece of lino, cutting away more of it as you go and printing each colour in layers. By the time you're finished, you'll have built up a three-colour print from one block.

Goodman takes you through the whole process from start to finish. You'll begin by planning your design and preparing the block, then move on to the cutting and printing, and finally to registering the image so the layers line up properly. It's a good way to see how a print actually comes together, layer by layer, rather than just seeing the finished thing. All the materials are provided, so you don't need to bring your own tools or ink, though you are asked to bring along a sketchbook or your own designs to work from.

The workshop is for ages 16 and over. You can book it as a one-off session, or take it alongside the Black & White Lino Printing workshop if you want to cover both. It runs from 14:00 to 16:30 — two and a half hours — at the Museum & Art Gallery on Chapel Road, BN11 1HP. Tickets start from £18.25, with a £0.75 transaction fee on top.
