Tutor: Usva Inei at Vauxhall Studio

Date: Saturday 18 May 2024 10-4pm Vauxhall Studio

Introduction to lino; cutting and printing a simple black and white design over the course of the day. The tutor will demonstrate the safe use of linocut tools, so you will understand how to cut lino safely and confidently. You will learn how to print using a press. 

You will need to bring along an image or drawing to use as a starting point / template for the lino cut, either in a sketch book, print out or on your device. All tools and materials will be provided.

All levels are welcome.

Groups will be kept small to allow for ample space to make work.
