Introduction:
This course provides an introduction to printmaking with a focus on two popular techniques: monoprint and linocut.

Day One we will be exploring monoprint. This technique allows for limitless creativity and spontaneous expression, every monoprint is unique, offering endless possibilities for experimentation and creativity.
Day Two Rachel will guide you through the essentials of linocut, helping you create stunning prints that showcase your unique artistic vision. Learn to carve, ink, and print your own designs, and create bold, graphic artworks that stand out.
