GARANTO ART CLUB - INTRODUCTION TO LINO PRINTING

Have you ever heard of Printmaking, or even seen some prints and wondered "how did they make that?"; this is your chance to come and have a taste of this incredibly rewarding traditional technique.

The workshop is aimed for complete beginners, so don't worry if you never touched a Baren, etching tool or even know what a press is. Everything will be explained by our host Mina, who will be guiding you through the two hours long session.

We will focus on the printing part of the process, and even though etching tools will be shown and explained their use, we will not use them this time: the pieces of lino will be ready for you to start printing and creating your compositions.

Host suggestion: aprons will be handed but it might be wise to bring clothes that you wouldn'd miss if they get stained with ink. Also bring a tote or carrier bag to take your stamps home with you!
