THE EDINBURGH DRAWING SCHOOL
Edinburgh's original independent art school
Beginners Lino Printing
with artist & tutor Ingrid Nilsson, Tuesdays 6.30 - 8.30pm
Service Description
Beginners Lino Printing – from photo reference and geometric pattern. All materials are provided to the value of £35 per student for the duration of the course and remain in the school. Over ten weeks, Ingrid will introduce students to all the basic techniques of linocut printing, with plenty of hands-on demonstration and 1:1 time with students to work with their individual ideas and requirements. This course is perfect for students who are unsure of their drawing capabilities, as prints will be created from photo reference and geometric patterns without the need for freehand drawing. Making effective relief prints from carved blocks that can be used again and again to create greetings cards and gifts is a fun introduction to printmaking and will also improve the participants’ confidence in making original art. All materials will be provided and there will be the chance to explore a number of different approaches and techniques to making lino prints. A number of different prints will be made over the ten weeks, so plenty of room for experimentation and growth. Students will be required to bring in reference materials as required, which will be explained as needed. As lino printing can be a messy business, old clothes or an apron will be useful for the printing sections of the course. An old hand towel this will be very useful for cleaning up and drying print blocks. Ingrid is a full-time artist printmaker and teacher based in Edinburgh, specialising in lino printing. Originally a painter, her love of process and craft drew her to work with relief printing and she now designs and hand presses all her work at her home studio. Curiosity and a creative imagination keep her practise progressing.
