Linocut is a relief printing process in which the lino is cut away leaving the remaining raised area, which is then inked and printed. Learn how to plan, cut, and print an image using a 100 x 100 mm square lino block. Take inspiration from images of the historic surroundings of the building and the town. Images will be provided but please bring any images you would like to use. There will be a break for lunch, please bring lunch with you or you can go into town for lunch.
