Over two engaging sessions, this beginner-friendly course introduces participants to the fundamentals of printmaking using soft, easy-to-carve linoleum—perfect for those new to the medium. You’ll build confidence learning essential carving techniques before diving into the playful possibilities of mono-printing and colour.
From bold single impressions to simple multicolour prints, participants will explore layering, texture, and inking methods that are central to printmaking practice. Designed to be both accessible and creatively freeing, this course encourages experimentation while guiding you through the key techniques needed to create dynamic, expressive prints.
By the end of the course, participants will create a small series of original prints and gain foundational printmaking skills they can continue to build on.
