Linocut: Inspiration from Nature - Printmaker's Toolkit Session

Tuesday 21st June 2016
10.30 – 11.30

For our June Toolkit Session, printmaker and regular in the WYPW workshops Mike Smith will be demonstrating how he creates his beautiful, intricate, colourful reduction linocut prints, inspired by the natural world.

“Never without sketch book or camera, my print work is always developed from my own drawn or photographic observations. Although not exclusively so, I use a ‘reduction’ process that employs up to ten different colour printing stages but only one printing block.”

These 1 hour morning sessions will focus on technique, practise and making, and will comprise of practical demonstrations and talks led by practising artists and printmakers. The sessions are intended to encourage, inspire, and generate ideas and conversation about printmaking, so don’t be afraid to ask questions! Both members and non-members are welcome to attend. If you are not a member, or indeed a printmaker, they can act as taster sessions to show you just what printmaking is all about. If you are a member, the sessions can offer valuable hints and tips to help further your printmaking practise, or introduce you to a new technique.

Sessions run from 10.30 – 11.30am on a Tuesday morning.
