What You’ll Learn
- Linocut printmaking is a fun process that allows you to carve designs into a block and hand press them to create multiple copies of your art. This class is for anyone. Seriously. Anyone can learn this art form, regardless of age, experience level, or art style..
- Linocut is great for people who want to create something tangible when so much of what we see is made for an online world. It’s also perfect for people who like to draw but wish they could create multiple versions of the same drawing..
- You’re going to need a carving block, cutters, a brayer, and ink. I recommend getting a Speedball Water-Based Block Printing Starter Set. You’ll also need paper, something to press with (a large spoon will work just fine), and drawing supplies including tracing paper..
- Even if it seems a little confusing at first, stick with it. Peeling off a piece of paper printed with your original linocut art is such a rewarding feeling. And since you can make multiples, keep going. You’ll end up with several pieces of art you can sell, give as gifts, and continue experimenting with..
