14 Nov- Lino Printing

Workshop - Lino Printing

Firstly a design is choose to be printed.  A mirror image of this design is transfered to the lino block.  Typically this is done using tracing paper or sometimes the sketch is made directly to the lino block.  It depends on how confident you are in your mirror image sketching abilities.

Points of view

If you though that the only two ways for you to see a glass were either as” half-full” (Optimist) or “half empty” (Pessimist) then you’d be very wrong my friend because Despair.com has come up with a list of ten in their Points of View checklist which include:

• Realist – “Yep. That’s a glass, alright”
• Idealist – “One day, cold fusion for a glass of water will provide unlimited energy and end war”
• Capitalist – “If I bottled this and give it a New Agey sounding name, I could make a fortune”
• Communist – “This drink belongs to every single one of us in equal measures”
• Nihilst – “This glass does not exist, and neither do I”
• Opportunist – “There’s a funny t-shirt in here somewhere”

So which one do you fall into?
