Spend a weekend creating colourful reduction linocuts with artist Scarlette Averley ! Over the course of a weekend, learners will be guided through the reduction linocut method and colour blend inking techniques. Reduction linocut involves cutting away the surface of one lino block in stages and printing each stage, layer by layer, on top of the last, creating a multi-coloured, tonal print. Check out our In-house courses by following the link in our bio #wypw #printmaking #since1984 #acesupported #acenorth #hereforculture

Join artist, printmaker and WYPW Technician Kate Desforges for this hands-on course exploring plywood lithography, or ‘Mokulito’. Plywood lithography takes the basic principles of stone lithography, and applies them instead to a prepared plywood surface. Traditional lithographic drawing materials are used to draw and paint onto the plywood surface!
