Obsidian Art have exhibited Alexandra’s wonderful work for a number of years so, we’re very excited to offer an opportunity to explore the skill of linocut with Alexandra.

You will learn how to create a small multi-layered linocut using the reduction method. This involves repeated cutting and printing from the same block of lino to build up an image; covering how to plan a design and transfer it to the lino; how to cut the lino; how to ink up the lino and how to print it by hand. You will also learn how to correctly register your prints so all the layers of the design line up neatly. 

Please bring along a few images that inspire you, you will be working on lino 10x15cm. Tracing a design or photo is fine if you are not confident at drawing.  

Alexandra has been teaching lino cutting to all levels of ability since 2013. Her linocuts sell to collectors across the UK and internationally. She is a member of the Oxford Art Society and regularly participates in open studio events in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. 

Refreshments included:

Tea, coffee & squash and biscuits. 

Not included!

As nice as biscuits are, they will not sustain you, through the day!

Please bring a packed lunch.
