Explore Lithino: Lithography Meets Linocut
2 day course
16 & 17 July 2025
10am to 4pm
£195 including all materials
Unlock a bold new approach to printmaking in this exciting Lithino workshop. Merging the fluid, expressive qualities of lithography with the crisp precision of linocut, Lithino lets you turn any linoleum block into a dynamic lithographic surface—at any stage of the carving process. Discover how lino captures lithographic detail beautifully, offering freedom to work at scales and formats that traditional stone lithography can’t easily accommodate. This technique doesn’t require special equipment—it can be printed by hand or with a standard press.
Lino plates are durable and versatile, letting you layer imagery over time. You'll experiment with combining lithographic drawing, linocut carving, and other techniques to create vibrant, textured prints full of character. This workshop opens up new creative possibilities. Come ready to draw, carve, and print in a way you’ve never tried before.
