Lino printing at Stampalofi
Let's get lino printing. Join us for an introductory workshop on Saturday 27th April at Stampalofi in Ocean Terminal!
About Lino printing at Stampalofi
Saturday Mornings are for Lino printing at Stampalofi. If you would like to come along sign up and unless there is a market or other reason to close the studio the lino printing should be going ahead. Just get in touch to find out.
Lino printing involves carving into a block of linoleum, covering the carved surface with a thin layer of ink, and transferring the design to a piece of paper through putting both the block and the paper through a printing press.
Using lino to ‘relief’ print in this way is a fun and accessible introduction to printmaking, and allows each aspiring printmaker to consider light and dark, form, colour and texture.
During the workshop, Robert will briefly introduce you to relief printmaking before taking you through the process step by step. This introductory workshop will be closely led to ensure that you are working safely with the (sharp!) tools, and that you understand each part of the process.
You will be encouraged to experiment with different types of mark making when creating your own design, and templates are available for those who can find starting a piece of art a daunting process.
At the end of this workshop, each participant will have their own print run of lino printed art, and a carved lino block that they can take home to continue their creative journey. Participants will leave with the knowledge and skills necessary for personal projects. Participants are also invited to remain in the Stampa Lofi studio after the workshop end to make any amendments to their block.
No prior printing experience is necessary: the process is accessible, immediate, and addictive! If you have prior printmaking experience, we will use your expertise to deepen the experience for everyone, and talk about how you can develop your practice further.
Hosted by Robert Marjoribanks at The StampaLoFi printmaking workshop on the first floor of Ocean Terminal (just passed the elevator). Suitable for beginners.
