Lino etching is a relief printing process that uses caustic soda paste to etch into lino blocks. This technique can be a good addition to traditional cut lino. You will experiment with mark-making through the use of simple ‘resists’, a way of protecting areas of your block against the caustic. This can produce a wide range of tonal marks.

Lino is a traditional relief technique where the surface of a linoleum block is carved away to create marks or an image. Over the course of this taster workshop you will learn how to use lino tools to draw into the surface of your softcut lino plate before inking and printing your plate on one of our presses.

Come and get your hands inky and your creativity flowing in this mid-week evening taster session workshop which will introduce you to the technique of lino print.
