Multi block Linocut Weekend Workshop at Wessex Sculptors

On the 2nd and 3rd of November, we are delighted that artist Lisa Takahashi will be returning to our studio, this time to run a two day printing workshop making multiblock linocut prints.  The workshop will run from 10am to 4pm on each day.

At this weekend workshop, you will immerse yourself in this tactile and meditative approach to relief printmaking. Multi-block linocut printing allows you to create multi-coloured images, cutting into several linocut blocks before rolling ink on each, and printing them on top of one another to build the full picture. This approach allows you to try making different colourways of each print, and experiment with how you apply the colour, adding texture and variations of colour saturation to control the depth and drama of your work.

The multi-block print process is often worked out over weeks, months or even years! But this weekend-workshop will condense the process…
