Creative Happy Hour! Linoleum Block Printing

 

About the Session

Join us at the Red Brick Center for the Arts for fun and social art-making evenings. Whether you have art experience or not, come create during our evening sessions and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine or beer.

Participants must be 21 years of age or older.


Linoleum block printing, also known as lino printing or linocut, is a versatile printmaking technique that involves:

  • Carving images and designs into linoleum blocks.

  • Inking the carved blocks.

  • Pressing them onto paper to achieve a printed image.

  • No two images turn out the same, the only limit is your creativity!

Linocut, also known as lino print, lino printing or linoleum art, is a printmaking technique, in which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes mounted on a wooden block) is used for a relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, V-shaped chisel or gouge, with the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show the areas to be printed.


Cost

$25 per session, per person; all supplies are included.

The Red Brick Center for the Arts is conveniently located just two blocks away from the RFTA bus stop on Garmisch Street.

Andy Warhol San Francisco Silverspot Butterfly screenprint from the Endangered Species Series, 1983 is an intimate portrait of one California’s endangered insect residents, the Callippe silverspot butterfly.
