STAMP IT UP! Samantha guides you through the process of making stamps from lino, and found objects. Learn how to carve and create your own collection of stamps, wonderful for all types of artmaking, craft and journaling people. Stamps can be used for making your own cards, wrapping paper, and a variety of other products, including using them for clay! They last for years and can be reused over and over again. All levels |
4 Day | Monday 14 – Thursday 17 September 2026
INTRODUCTION TO REDUCTION LINOCUT A reduction linocut is a relief printing method where a single block is progressively carved and printed to create muti-coloured, layered images, ultimately destroying the block in the process. Artists print the lightest colour first, then carve away more lino for subsequent, darker colours, requiring the entire edition to be produced in one session. You will learn lino reduction process and brief history, how to prepare your image, image transfer onto a plate, set up registration system (Ternes -Burton registration system), 3+ colour plus white reduction to produce your final printed work. Participants will be able to make several smaller works or one larger detailed work with more layers/colours. We will learn both the press process and hand pressing for home use. All levels |
