About this course

The course surveys three printmaking approaches: monoprinting by hand and press, making and printing a simple lino relief block, and mono-screenprinting with pre-developed photographic screens. Demonstrations are combined with practical exercises, allowing participants to produce prints while being introduced to safe studio practice and press use. Teaching includes hand-outs, group discussion, and both group and individual advice and feedback.

What you'll learn

  • Make monoprints by hand and on a press
  • Create a simple lino relief block for printing
  • Apply ink to a relief block with rollers and print it on a press
