What you’ll do in the class
After a short introductory round, Rebeca will introduce you to the basics of linocutting.
It introduces you to the various materials, discusses differences between linoleum boards and shows you how to “think negatively” in order to transfer the desired motif onto the linoleum board.
Then practice transferring sketches. After the sketches have been applied to the plates, there are various cutting techniques.
Finally, you'll learn how to color the printing plates and then, of course, make your own prints!
