Is this course for me

It is a voyage of discovery for those who are curious about how you can make a print and something you will come to enjoy. It can be a messy subject but worth the wait for the final image.

Course aims

By the end of the course you should be able to:

* Produce at least 3 prints using Lino
* Use a print press safely to create your prints
* Create at least one original drawing to use in a print
* Explain the health and safety considerations for all resources and tools used

You will also be asked to think of Personal Aims to individualise your learning experience, as well as another benefits the course may have.

What will I need for my course

You will need to bring an apron to protect your clothes as it can be a messy subject, please do not wear clothes that you do not mind getting ink onto. The inks and the paper for the course are provided to get you started in the subject. If you have a sketchbook and 2B pencil please bring them along, this allows you to see your progression throughout the short course.
