The Art of Jigsaw Lino Printing

 
 

Work with Associate Artist Heidi Sharp to piece together prints using a puzzle of lino. Carve intricate designs into individual lino blocks, assembling to form a larger image.


How Does It Work?

  • ⁠Design and Carve: A design is drawn onto a lino block and carved with tools

  • ⁠Jigsaw the Block: The block is cut into smaller pieces, each representing a different color

  • ⁠Ink and Assemble: Each piece is inked and reassembled to form the complete design

  • ⁠Print: The inked block is pressed onto paper to create a beautiful print

Why is Jigsaw Lino Printing So Special?
By breaking down the design into smaller pieces, artists can achieve intricate details, multiple colors, and complex patterns that would be difficult to achieve with traditional lino printing techniques.

Join us for a workshop where you'll:

  • Refresh yourself on the basics of lino cutting techniques

  • ⁠Master the art of assembling lino blocks

  • ⁠Discover the secrets of inking and printing

  • ⁠Gain valuable tips and tricks from experienced printmakers

  • ⁠No prior lino printing experience is necessary, but a basic understanding of carving techniques can be beneficial.
