Learn the art of linocut and have a go at making reductive linocut Christmas cards. In this session you will learn how to create 2-3 colour linocut prints using the reduction method and produce 6 Christmas cards to take home (or leave with us to drive and pick up the following Sunday).

We will start the session by learning about how this form of printing works.  To start the creative juices flowing we will create simple styrofoam prints you can reproduce at home even with young children.  Once warmed up we will look at the different tools and then how to perform different basic cuts on a test piece of easy cut lino.

When comfortable using the lino gouger you will design a 2-3 colour festive design/ or any holiday you follow and learn how to create your reduction print using high quality block printing oil based ink.   Once the session ends you will have 6 finished cards.

All materials and equipment provided. Plus mince pies and mulled apple juice
