THE EDINBURGH DRAWING SCHOOL
Edinburgh's original independent art school
Lino Printing: Original Drawing & Design
with artist & tutor Ingrid Nilsson, Wednesdays 6.30 - 8.30pm
Service Description
All materials are provided to the value of £35 per student for the duration of the course and remain in the school. Lino printing – from original drawings and designs Intermediate This course is ideal for students who already have some experience of design or printmaking, but is suitable for anyone with some confidence in drawing. The focus will be on creating original designs and learning how to realise them in print. Over the 8 week course, participants will progress through designing, carving and pressing their own prints, using single and multiple colours. Support and tuition will be given at all stages of the process, including design, carving and printing, with plenty of 1:1 time to discuss each student’s individual ideas. The nature of printmaking means that the simplest designs often really shine and take on a life of their own, and this process will be evident as the course progresses. Teaching groups are small and will have a friendly, relaxed ambiance. All materials will be provided and there will be the chance to explore a number of different approaches and techniques to making lino prints. 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.
