Lino Printing Workshop w/kutlayus

After experimenting with lino printing for a while, I now feel ready to open this process up through a workshop, an introduction to lino printing and the way I approach creating 🌞

Thıs workshop will take place at 📍BARESPACE on 25 January, from 15:30 to 17:30, and you’re welcome to stay longer afterwards if you like to keep experimenting 🧙‍♂️

There’s something special about carving lino. It asks for precision, your mind can’t split itself into ten places. You have to stay with the line, with the pressure, with the movement of your hands. And when you stay long enough, your thoughts begin to quiet.

You’re no longer watching yourself create, you become part of the process.This is one of the main reasons I fell with lino printing, an image that lives in your mind slowly becomes real, physical, tangible.

What you will learn

In this workshop you will learn how to:

- find ideas and inspiration from simple moments (thoughts, memories, feelings, small things you notice)

- transform those inner materials into drawing

- turn a drawing into a lino design

- carving and lino printing fundamentals

experiment with repetition and variation

- understand the origin and usage of lino printing

You will leave with

- several hand-printed works

- your carved lino block

- the fundamentals of lino carving and printing, so you can start making your own prints at home

- plus whatever the process opens up for you personally

Anyone who wants to imagine, play, and witness how something inside can transform into a printed image is welcome. All materials will be provided and no prior experience is needed.
