Intermediate /Reduction Linoleum Printmaking

Reduction linoleum printmaking is easy enough for a beginner or to take an experienced artist’s skill set to a new level. Reduction printmaking requires some planning. At each step, portions of the image are carved away. As the process continues, working from light to dark, a rich multi-colored print emerges but there is no stepping! Artists will learn the steps necessary to plan, carve safely, print and recarve their linoleum blocks to achieve a finished set or a small edition of prints. Registration techniques, so necessary to keeping your prints looking crisp, will be covered as well. You will work with soy-based Akua ink in a professional print studio. All levels of learners are welcome! $120 includes materials including Lino, ink, carving tools and paper. Sign up at www.AshevillePrintStudio.com
