Event details
Thursday 10 December, 13.30-14.30
For this special Christmas edition of the SPAB members' skill-share, we are thrilled to welcome Dr Penny Streeter, art historian and linocut artist, for an introduction to linocutting.
Join us to learn the basics of making lino prints at home. We'll be looking at how to turn your house into a simple design which can be transferred to lino - perhaps you could even make your own Christmas cards?
This short session will cover:
- the basic equipment needed
- how to make a simple design that would translate into a print
- how to transfer the design onto the lino and cut it
- inking up in a single colour
- printing by hand
About the speaker: Penny is a SPAB member, with a PhD (2018), MA and BA all in History of Art from the University of Sussex.
