Join printmaker and storyteller Abbie Lois at Made in Stirling for a lino-printing workshop inspired by real and imagined animals of the ancient world as seen in medieval Bestiaries and Greek pottery.
This session will introduce you to the materials, tools, and methodology for lino printmaking. Lino printing is a hands-on print making technique, drawing a design on to a linoleum (lino) surface that is then carved out using special carving tools. Ink is then rolled on to the carved lino, then the design is pressed by hand on to your chosen surface, such as paper or fabric.
Everyone will leave the workshop with their own printed tote bag, and can take their carved lino home to keep using their design if they wish! no previous experience requited, and all materials are provided for this session, including imagery for inspiration - just bring yourself. Make sure you wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy, however the ink is water-based so should come off in a wash if you do get some on your clothes.
