Linocut Printing: Two-Colour Design Workshop

Fareham Library

Monday 8th December 2025

10.00am to 2.00pm

Learning Goals:

• Build on foundational skills to explore more advanced carving and printing methods
• Design and print a layered composition using two colours
• Deepen understanding of visual balance, layering, and the impact of colour choices in relief printmaking.

This intermediate workshop builds on skills developed in the Beginners Printmaking course, offering participants the opportunity to expand their confidence and creativity in linocut techniques. Through guided demonstrations and practical exercises, you will design, carve, and print a two-colour composition, learning how to plan and register multiple layers for precise, dynamic results. The session encourages a focused and mindful approach to making — allowing space to slow down, experiment, and enjoy the hands-on process of creating original prints. By the end of the workshop, you will have produced a finished two-colour print and deepened your understanding of composition, layering, and colour in relief printmaking.
