Linocut Workshop
Join us for a workshop on creating Christmas cards using the linocut technique. This is an opportunity to create a unique gift for our loved ones and at the same time an opportunity to acquire new skills.
During the workshop, you will relax in a Christmas atmosphere and learn the linocut technique, a relief printing technique. Linocut is derived from woodcut, one of the oldest printing techniques. The base of our work will be a piece of linoleum, which you may associate mainly with the floors of the 90’s. Linocut is a technique that offers many possibilities for work and the final results obtained. The basic principle is very simple. Everything we cut from the linoleum tile will remain white. And I will tell you the rest in the workshop.
A collection of inspiration for creating a unique Christmas card will be waiting for you on the spot, but if you have your own ideas, bring them with you!
At the workshop, you will learn:
- how to use a chisel
- how to create a graphic matrix,
- what is the right sound of paint ?
- how to set up a graphic press
- how to create a print
Beyond that, I will explain some magical terms like matrix or print, as well as tell you about different types of chisels.
And all this with a cup of coffee and tea in a relaxed atmosphere in the magical space of Misprint.
