Lino cut printing

28/1/2017

Great time yesterday afternoon at the second of our printing workshops. This one was around lino cut printing.  More tricky than last weeks Gelli printing - it  takes a little longer to prepare the plate and requires more dexterity.

Everyone produced something great. Several people based their work on flowers but we also had a bird, fox and cat, if you think about it they can  all can be seen on allotment sites.

There was also a  print of a jam pot - the end result of some  allotment produce. This led on to a discussion around  jams and chutneys, several attendees said they had made green tomato chutney last year and agreed it would be a great idea to bring some along for us all to sample at next weeks workshop - we'll be adding  cheese and biscuits of course!!!!

Gelli Workshop

I couldn't believe how quickly we all mastered the art of Gelli printing, it's actually a very easy technique. The results were fantastic.I'm already thinking about the different ways we maybe able to use some of the pictures: transfer them on to fabric and develop them through textile work, is it possible to sew onto the prints?  As always the tea and biscuits at the end of the session were most welcome and gave everyone a chance to have a good old 'chin wag'.
