This 2 evening class will guide you through creating your own linocut design from carving to completion!
-Class 1 (March 14): Carve
-Class 2 (March 21): Print
This is a low pressure class; there will be plenty of time to work through your design and you have the option of taking your block home between class 1 & 2 if needed.
INSTRUCTOR: Natalie Ley of Snake Bite Creations
PROJECT: Students will create a linocut print up to 4"x6"; learning how to carve a block and using ink to print it by hand. At the end of class 2, you will go home with your block and paper prints.
INCLUDED: All materials are included; a lino block, carving tools, ink, rollers, and paper.
PREREQUISITE: None! No experience is required.
PLEASE BRING: CLASS 1: Please come with a design in mind. Students will have the option of either drawing their design directly on the block (freehand) or sending me a PDF beforehand so it can be printed and transferred onto the block before class. If you have a laser printer, you can also print a piece of paper with your sketch by photocopying it (in order to transfer it). Please make sure it is no larger than 4"x6".
CLASS 2: Nothing is needed, but if there is a specific colour or type of paper you would like to use, please bring it.
Any questions? Please ask! Email: snakebitecreations@gmail.com or message me
OTHER NOTE: You may need to come back to pick up your prints when they are dry.
