Courses > Linocut

Students will be introduced to basic printmaking practice and will develop these skills over the duration of the course. The course is aimed at those who have some printmaking experience or an interest in printmaking; however it is also suitable for people who are new to art.

We will begin the course by introducing students to linocutting as a printmaking method, creating a line on a block. As the course develops students can also work further into the image on their blocks.

Materials:
As students will be working from their own ideas, it is important to bring some drawings, photographs or other images as source material. Students will be provided with a start-up supply of lino, paper and inks. Latex gloves and rags are also provided. Students will need to purchase a linocut tool, which can be bought at Evans art supply shop in St Mary’s Abbey, or Kennedys of Harcourt St. Please also bring an apron, pencils, pens and paintbrushes, a notebook and any other drawing materials you may need.
