Printmaking for Beginners
Enjoy an introduction to the art of lino cutting over 4-weeks, in our freshly updated printmaking course for Spring.
Students will be inspired by a class visit to the Albury Botanic Gardens in the first week to sketch and photograph ideas for a botanical print.
Learn how to transfer your design to a block, cut, ink and print using hand burnishing and the printing press.
At the end of the course, students will go home with a bi-fold book consisiting of each of the participants prints, as well as the skills to continue printing at home using techniques that don’t require a printing press.
All materials are provided.
