When I’m not tucked away in my studio I like to run print workshops as a freelance tutor. Check back on this page to keep up to date with what courses Ill be running in the coming months.
Join us for a weekend workshop designed to push your ambition and expertise in working with experimental Lino Etching techniques…
Over two days, you’ll explore lino etching using caustic soda paste to create textured relief prints. This painterly technique allows for expressive marks, tonal gradients, and unique textures. It can stand alone or be combined with traditional cutting and masking for layered, more structured images.
This advanced lino etching course is perfect for those who have recently attended our popular ‘introduction to lino etching’ course or for those who have some experience in relief based printmaking. Designed to cater to those who would like to expand and advance their knowledge and learn some new processes.
The taster trio’s I run at WYPW offer a variety of techniques tailored to inspire your own practice and make decisions about which techniques suit your artistic preferences. This trio will explore the techniques of gelli-plate, linocut, and tetra-pak printing which will offer ways of working that cover; bold design and flat colour, painterly and experimental approaches or linear drawn outcomes – so, hopefully something for everyone!
Lino etching is a relief printing process that uses caustic soda paste to etch into lino blocks. This technique can be a good addition to traditional cut lino. You will experiment with mark-making through the use of simple ‘resists’, a way of protecting areas of your block against the caustic. This can produce a wide range of tonal marks.
Over the course of the two days you will investigate ways of working with lino blocks and a caustic soda paste to bring textural qualities to relief printed images. Lino etching is a very painterly technique, capable of producing gestural marks, gradations of tone, and beautiful unpredictable textures. It can be used stand alone or combined with traditional cutting and masking methods to explore layering and more structural qualities within the image.

Lino is a traditional relief technique where the surface of a linoleum block is carved away to create marks or an image. Over the course of this taster workshop you will learn how to use lino tools to draw into the surface of your softcut lino plate before inking and printing your plate on one of our presses.

Once your blocks are etched, you will be guided through inking and printing, with the opportunity to explore colour inking and multi-layered prints, producing 2-3 prints each on good quality paper to take home.
