NEW WORKSHOP!

This workshop with tutor, Peter Ursem offers a practical introduction to the process of making a linocut, from your first inspiration to the actual print.  Peter graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague (1995) and now resides in Cornwall.

Through simple exercises we explore the striking possibilities of designing in just black and white, developing an initial sketch to a workable design, transfer this onto the lino block, carve and then print.

You will discover that lino printing can be taken into so many different directions, from delightful swirls and pattern, to vibrant mark making and dramatic expression. Peter will guide you through all aspect of this technique, not just the cutting but also the printing.

The workshop coincides with Peter’s Exhibition, Eye Heart Hand being held at the Ilminster Arts Centre with many examples of Peter’s Lino Prints in the exhibition.
