Large scale lino etching
£145
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.
Lino etching is a very painterly technique, capable of producing gestural marks, gradations of tone, and beautiful unpredictable textures. Those working with the technique use it stand alone or combined with traditional cutting and masking methods to explore layering and more structural qualities within the image.
So much detail can be created by the etched lino process that it can only be fully appreciated when printed at a larger scale. Over the course of the weekend, you will work on 30 x 30 cm lino blocks as well as exploring how to etch cork and plywood with caustic soda paste! You will also experiment with how to create multi plate printing and learn how to register your blocks on the press. You will have the opportunity to try out paper stenciling and combine intaglio with relief printing to create unique mono-prints.
