Come join the printmaking fun! Linocut printmaking has a long history and yet it is so contemporary. Artwork created by using linocut printmaking has a look all its own. This is due to the unique mark making created by using the carving tools to carve the block and then using black ink to create a bold print. The other neat thing about printmaking is that you can print multiple images called an edition. Or you can print greeting cards, or in your sketchbook or incorporated into your paintings, or print on fabric or…. there’s a lot of possibilities.
Linocut printmaking is something you can do at your kitchen table. That’s actually where I do a lot of my craving and then I like to print at the kitchen counter because of the height.
