Explore the art of linocut printmaking in this beginner-friendly workshop! In this single-session class, you'll learn the fundamentals of relief printmaking as you create and print your own one-color linocut design.

Students will be guided through each step of the process, including developing a simple image, transferring it to a linoleum block, safely using carving tools, inking the block, and pulling a small edition of hand-printed artworks. Along the way, you'll gain an understanding of the basic techniques and tools used in relief printmaking, making this a perfect introduction for anyone curious about the medium.

No previous printmaking experience is required. All materials are provided. Please bring a simple 8 × 10 black-and-white image that you created yourself or one that you have the legal right to reproduce. Wear comfortable clothing that can get a little inky.

What you'll learn:

  • Introduction to linocut printmaking and relief printing

  • Safe carving techniques and tool handling

  • Creating a strong black-and-white design

  • Inking and printing techniques

  • Pulling a small edition of one-color prints

  • Basic printmaking terminology and editioning

By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with your carved linoleum block, a small edition of your original one-color prints, and the skills and confidence to continue exploring linocut printmaking on your own.
