What to prepare before your class:

Send by whatsapp or email a picture of the image you want to print so the teacher can check the design you want to do is doable. Please send by at least a day before the class start date!

If you do not want to choose your own design, we will have examples that you can choose to replicate or take inspiration from.

Process

1. Design Prep: The artist draws a design on the linoleum surface. And plans the layers before starting.
2. Carving: Using special tools, the artist carves away parts of the linoleum that will not hold ink. The areas left raised will form the printed image.
3. Inking: The carved linoleum block is inked using a roller, ensuring that only the raised areas are covered.
4. Printing: The block is pressed onto paper. For reduction printing, the artist typically prints in layers, removing more linoleum for each color added.
5. Layering: Each print requires careful registration to align the layers accurately. The process continues until the desired number of colors and details are achieved.
6. Tidy up and clean up: Learn how to clean and maintain the printmaking tools.
7. Pack up: Package your prints to take home!
