About


Back by popular demand! In this 4 week evening course, you will be introduced to this popular technique, and be able to design, carve and print your own linocuts.


Course Dates: Wedneasdays 19th & 26th February, 5th & 12th March 2025


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