Jigsaw Linocut Workshop

Linocut is a type of relief printmaking which involves carving into a lino plate using sharp tools. The ink is printed from the surface of the plate, and the areas that are carved away remain white (or the colour of your paper). 

In Jigsaw Linocut printing, the lino plate is then cut into separate pieces using a craft knife. Each piece is inked up with a different colour and the pieces are reassembled (like a jigsaw) before printing. This creates a simple and effective way to achieve interesting and vibrant multi-colour prints.

• Materials and refreshments will be provided.
• Concessions available upon request for students and people on a low income.
• Please note the venue has uneven floor and stairs. Please get in touch if you have any questions about accessibility or anything else! printsharelakes@gmail.com

• A packed lunch (for full day workshops)
• Something to inspire you
• Your creativity!

Introduction to Printmaking Workshops 2024

Following a successful first year in our printmaking studio, Printshare are delighted to offer another series of printmaking workshops.

2024 offers four workshops in different printmaking techniques, taught by members of our collaborative group in a friendly relaxed environment. These workshops are suitable for beginners, or those wanting to try their hand at a new printmaking technique. You can choose to do a single or multiple workshops, or the whole course.

These workshops will support us to develop our studio space, and an exciting programme of more workshops and arts activities in Ulverston.
