Course Description

Course length: 10 weeks (2 hours a week, 7.00 - 9.00pm)
Tutor: Russell John 
Level: Beginner/Intermediate 

 

Reduction linocut printing was popularised by Picasso and his master printer Hidalgo Arnéra. It is a bold and usually colourful relief print technique.

 

In this course you will be guided through the development and production of a series of reduction linocut prints.

 

Using sketches, found imagery and photographs we will create personal compositions which embrace the inherent restrictions of reduction linocut printing and harness its bold and colourful appearance.

 

Each week we will respond to what we have previously created and build upon successes, allowing us to create an edition of prints which take advantage of this wonderful technique.

What do students need to bring with them?

Found imagery and/or personal imagery, photocopies, cuttings from magazines

 

Other advice will be given during first session.
