Ever wanted to make your own unique prints, the old-school way? In this workshop, you’ll explore the art of linocut, a printmaking technique that has captured the imagination of artists for generations. Learn how to cut and print your own designs from scratch.
Linocut offers a creative outlet where your designs come to life through carving into linoleum blocks. Originating in the interwar years, between World War I and World War II, linocut gained widespread popularity for its versatility and expressive possibilities.
Guided by Pien van de Nieuwenhof, a fine arts teacher specializating in illustration and animation, you’ll go through the full process. From turning your idea into a design, to carving it into linoleum, and finally printing your own work onto paper. In her own practice, Pien explores themes such as mental health, feminism and relationships.
Practical info
- Bring some inspiration: photos (black and white with strong contrasts works best) or sketches, your own are welcome.
- The ink can stain your clothes, so leave your good clothes at home.
And… you don't need any experience. You’ll be guided step by step.
