Learn how to make a linocut print using the jigsaw technique. The jigsaw linocut method involves carving the design from one lino block. It is then cut up into sections for inking in different colours. The Lino pieces are brought together to complete the design. The paper is then placed on top and run through the Albion Press to create the finished piece.

During the session you will:

Learn how to create a simple two to three colour jigsaw print.

Develop a clear understanding of the steps needed to plan, design and carve a successful print.

Print on the studio’s Albion press, using soft cut lino and oil based inks.

During the morning you will learn about materials and tools, cut and print a test print and then plan your final design. In the afternoon you cut and print your chosen design. You will also be shown several easy registration methods that can be used with or without a press to make sure your prints are lined up exactly every time.

Please note:

Clothing: We will be working with inks that do not easily wash out of clothing. Wear old clothes and bring an apron/old shirt etc. as cover-up. Avoid loose, dangly sleeves, which can be a safety hazard.

Food and drinks: East Quay Kitchen offers a delicious menu that caters for most dietary preferences, but you are welcome to bring your own lunch and snacks to eat in the studio or the courtyard. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Parking: There is no on-site parking for visitors to East Quay. Harbour Road pay and display car park is convenient but costly. There is unrestricted parking along Doniford Road, and other residential streets off that, a very short walk to East Quay via Goviers Lane.
