One of the blogs I follow is an artist based in Australia who is running an online Lino cutting course. It only cost $30 about £18 for 3 lessons and from what I’ve read on other blogs Dijanne gives a good grounding in starting to learn Lino cutting so I’ve just signed up for it.
I won't have to buy any materials because I've already got a small Lino cutting tool set and I bought some soft printing blocks but I want to learn how to use the proper 'lino' that I bought ages ago.....must remember to try the tip I read somewhere, sit on the piece of 'lino' for a while to soften it and make it easier to carve.
Did some lino cutting when I was at school and I really enjoyed it. There is something very satisfying about gouging out the lino and the linseed smell is very evocative. It is possible to produce some quite sophisticated images,so I am looking forward to seeing your work.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteI've just signed up for the Drawing course and am on Assignment 4 of the printmaking. I am very much enjoying the printmaking course. You've done Textile and TAoP? I can see the printmaking going well with textile work - I like the ability to influence patterns/textures/structures with monoprints or currently collagraphs (printing collaged plates).
