THE EDINBURGH DRAWING SCHOOL
Edinburgh's original independent art school
Lino Printing Weekend: Beginners
with artist & tutor Ingrid Nilsson, Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th May 10.30 - 4pm
Service Description
Lino print with Ingrid Nilsson – beginners All materials provided Immersive weekend workshop that takes the participants through the basics of lino printing, from design to carving and printing the finished block. Working from source material or their own drawings and sketches, students will learn how to create a design that will translate well to the medium of lino printing. After transferring to the block and discussing the best carving practices with demonstrations, they will then carve the lino. Drawing experience is not crucial as there are methods of transfer from simple designs and photographic reference, meaning that everyone can make a striking design. Working in a small group means plenty of time for 1:1 demos and tuition as every design will be unique. Further techniques will be discussed and demonstrated along the way, to show what possibilities there are for further development. Materials will be provided for the entire course including inks and paper, and the students will produce at least a couple of finished prints, and take away the blocks and all the information they need to continue printing at home. Participants will need to bring reference materials for their designs, which can take the form of their own drawings or photographic reference copied on a laser copier (not ink-jet printer!) As lino printing can be a messy business, old clothes are advisable, or have an apron or overall to wear for the printing sections of the course. If you also have an old hand towel this will be very useful for cleaning up and drying print blocks. Ingrid is a printmaker and teacher based in Edinburgh, specialising in lino cut. Originally a painter, her love of process and craft drew her to work with relief printing, designing and pressing all her work in her home studio. Curiosity and a creative imagination keep her practise progressing. In 2024 she embarked on a long cycle through Europe and SE Asia, providing ample inspiration for her own artistic practice and teaching.

If a tutor has to withdraw from teaching the scheduled course for any reason (medical/personal/professional) before the start of a scheduled course, during a scheduled course, if the course is 8 weeks long or scheduled as x3 terms of 8 weeks long each, The Edinburgh Drawing School will find a replacement tutor for the course designed by that tutor for The Edinburgh Drawing School. The course content will be the same as the originally booked course. A student will not be entitled to a refund should the school have no option but to find a replacement tutor. If a tutor leaves and starts work elsewhere, and a student prefers to take classes with them personally at the tutor's new workplace, that is at the discretion of the student and no refund is entitled to them or will be given. If a student is unable to attend a class due to medical/personal/professional reasons, then EDS must be informed immediately so that the tutor can be notified.

Non-attendance of classes/workshops does not automatically mean a refund, however EDS will assess the circumstance If a tutor cannot teach a class due to illness, the scheduled class will be covered by another tutor or the class will be postponed and rescheduled for the following week at the same time on the same day of the week. Make up classes are scheduled during the half term week, or in the week following the end of term. The Edinburgh Drawing School runs 8 week terms of scheduled classes, 9 weeks if including the half term and then 10 weeks to include a week at the end of term for any necessary make up classes. Thus, the business always completes it's contractual obligations of 8 scheduled classes to booked students. If a student cannot attend a make up class, no refund is due.
