Exploring the origins of relief printing, the course uses lino blocks instead of wood. The course covers the creation of your design, colour mixing and finishing your piece to a professional standard.

In this class

With tutor Julian Davies on hand to help with the tricky bits, this lino cut workshop begins with the basic techniques and walks you through planning your design, creating your linocut block, mixing colours and printing onto Japanese paper, concluding with finishing your piece to a high standard.

Fantastic course - small group with lots of guidance from the teacher. Would definitely consider doing another course at the Thames side print studio.

Great to have a small class of just 4 people. Was able to have a go at 3 lino prints. Be good to get earlier knowledge (perhaps at booking) that you need to bring your own images to trace and cut. I only got this info 3 days before on the course reminder email and had little time to find something. (I can’t draw). I would have taken home better pieces with more time to prepare ideas/images to cut.

Very good. Small group (5) which we meant we had easy access to the tutor. Tutor friendly and helpful. Premises and equipment good. Wonderful views of the Thames. Plenty of parking space. My aim was to learn the technique and then to work out what sort of images work best - and I did both these. I came away with two prints that I was quite pleased with and have now bought the bits of equipment that I was missing, so I can do more linocuts at home. So for me the course achieved its aim.
