Suitable for beginners and those with experience, this full day workshop will give you the opportunity to create a multi-colour print using the jigsaw block technique.
Participants are encouraged to bring a few photo print-outs or sketches of favourite Lake District mountains in A5 size. Bringing preselected images and ideas enables us to spend more time printing on the day. If you are struggling for ideas, we can help with that too, we will also provide a selection of
images, even people who say they cannot draw, create beautiful linocut prints. By theq end of the workshop you’ll have designed, cut and printed your own artworks, which can be framed or made into cards.

What you will learn:
• An introduction to multi-block jigsaw linocut technique
• A chance to practice/refresh carving skills
• Developing your final design
• Transferring the design and carving
• Ink rolling and printing
• Advice and tuition on-hand at every step
Please bring an apron to protect your clothes, & reading glasses if you wear them.

Your Tutor: Emily Brooks
An artist, printmaker and mountain enthusiast, Emily mostly works in relief printmaking and is constantly inspired by the mountainous landscapes she immerses herself within. Usually, just a brief moment or a passing glimpse triggers a desire to create. Each experience is held, allowing it time to develop as a memory and work only begins once the memory has settled.
The most enduring aspects of any scene are consequently the ones that feature most prominently; a larger than life mountain, a simplified pattern, exaggerated negative spaces – all linked by the desire to cherish and share the lived connection between the landscape and the viewer.
