Conclusion
What You Will Learn?
- Linocut is a relief printmaking medium where the artist carves or cuts an image into a linoleum block, inks the top surface of the block, and prints the block onto paper. Artists who work with linocut value the direct, expressive quality of the medium as well as the ability to print multiples of the same image. While most forms of printmaking require expensive, specialized equipment, linocut can be done at home with a few basic supplies..
- In this class, students will have the opportunity to learn how to carve, ink and handprint their own linocut cards. Those who are new to linocut as well those who are more familiar with printmaking are welcome to participate. No previous printmaking experience is necessary..
