Special Holiday Season Greeting Cards Workshop
On Friday 20 December: Linocut Printmaking with artist Josie Gallagher
In 2020 we'll have a new regular class, in Print Making, on Friday mornings from 10 - 12.30
To show what this is about, Josie gives a special workshop on 20 December.
About the Workshop:
Linocut printmaking is a simple and accessible technique. Initially it requires only a few simple tools and a minimum amount of materials. We carve a linoleum plate with gouges and then ink the plate and hand print onto paper, cloth, wood or other surfaces.
As with any simple
technique, the possibilities to be creative and playful are endless! It is a
great technique that makes you think about the basics of image making. Once a
lino sheet is carved, its print can be reproduced an endless amount of times. A
great way to start is to work on creating and printing your own greeting cards
for Christmas or the New Year."

"The art I make is often inspired by the places in which I have found myself.. Over the past few years I have lived in Lebanon, Morocco,
Greece and Guatemala, all places which possess rich cultures of pattern work -
patterns inspired by nature or based in abstract geometry - and it is this
interest in all these various patterns that has become the thread linking together
my paintings and my prints over the years."
