Painterly printmaking:Alternative lithography on lino with Scarlett Rebecca

A three-day workshop with artist Scarlett Rebecca

​

Lino lithography is an accessible and low-toxic lithographic process that doesn’t require specialist equipment, so you can reproduce the process at home. Lithography is the perfect process for artists who want to explore a painterly approach to printmaking. Using lino as our print surface means we’re also able to include all the fantastic qualities of relief print.

 

Over the course we will be utilising lino as our matrix, using it as a surface from which we will reproduce intuitive painterly marks. We will also be combining carved elements using lino in the traditional relief way and layering colours using the lino as a surface for monotype.

 

This course is suitable for beginner printmakers and those who would like to explore a new printmaking process and take their drawing to the next level.
