Have you been wanting to learn linocut, but not sure where to start? Maybe you’ve tried carving with the pink rubber but you just want a little more out of it. This is the class for you!
While the methods for creating and printing your very own stamp is similar, the material used certainly isn’t. Linoleum is a harder material to carve, but the payoff is well worth it. Though extra care needs to be taken, you will be rewarded with more detail in your prints than rubber can provide.
In this class, students will draw out and carve their own linoleum block or “linocut” to create prints from. We will cover how to carve, safety methods, materials, and then make some prints together. All materials are provided, however you may find thinking about or sketching out some ideas before coming to be helpful. We will be working on a piece of 4x6 linoleum.
About the Instructor:
Amanda Santerre is a self-taught printmaker and the artist behind The Golden Foxxe. What began in 2018 as just a hobby has now become her full-time business. Growing up, she was fascinated by all living things and has made it the subject of her art to this day. Whether it is selling her work and meeting new friends at markets, or teaching a class, Amanda's goal is to build community, connect people and strengthen our individual ties to the nature that surrounds us.
Tools included:
All materials provided.
What you should bring:
Just some ideas and willingness to learn!
Date: Friday, May 8th
Time: 6pm-8pm
Location: 243 North Avenue, Wakefield, MA 01880
