Introduction
Welcome to the Reduction Linocut Printmaking evening course, led by artist and educator Dahlia El Broul, who also runs Maa's drawing workshop. This course caters to beginners and anyone seeking to refine their skills, for example, if you’ve attended Dahlia’s previous lino course. In this course, participants will explore reductive printing with two colours plus using black.
Throughout the course, participants will explore the history and principles of linocut printmaking and become acquainted with essential tools such as cutting tools and rollers. Emphasis will be placed on design and composition fundamentals, guiding participants in translating their ideas into visually compelling images suitable for linocut printmaking. The course covers various linoleum carving techniques to achieve different textures and effects, inking and printing skills, and more advanced methods like layering.
Additionally, participants will learn about print editions and methods to maintain consistency across multiple prints.
