Linocut is a very versatile print method and you can make it simple or as complex as you want.

These workshops are for total beginners as well as experienced lino printers. You may even remember doing some lino cut prints at school!

First learn how to cut and print single colour designs, mark making is done using metal gouges either V shaped or U-shaped. The shape of the tool selected will make the shape of your image. You may wish to continue perfecting one colour images - these can be stunningly beautiful.

The ‘reduction’ method uses one piece of lino to make multi coloured imagery, cut the highlights out first and print the lightest shade first making as many as you intend the edition to be plus some spares. Cut more away from your lino and print with the second colour and so on. Work from light to dark colours and plan for no more than four colours. It is helpful to choose to work with a simple image to begin with and have a plan or sketch as a guide for your cutting and colours.
