SUMMARY:Linocut Basics
DESCRIPTION:In this course the basics of linocut printmaking will be taught with a focus on safe carving technique\, good image design and the use of texture in the creation of compositions. Over the course of two evenings\, participants will develop an image\, carve it into a linoblock\, and print a small edition of monochromatic prints. Participants should leave the workshop with a good foundation in the medium to allow them to continue with personal explorations. \nThis course is suitable for all levels with no prior experience needed. \n  \nWhat you’ll learn: ​​​​\n\nWhat should be considered when designing an image for the relief printing process\nHow to transfer the image to the block\nThe basics of carving linoleum safely and efficiently\nThe techniques for dynamic mark making and texture in monochromatic linocut prints.\nThe inking and printing process\n\n  \nAbout the instructor:\nJonathan Creese is a Trinidadian artist\, currently living\, working\, and studying in Calgary AB. Being introduced to art primarily from the realm of printmaking\, his work uses the language and sensibilities of printmaking to highlight the realities of the cultural and socio political landscape of his homeland. As of November 26th 2024 he is interested in ways of representing quantitative data visually\, particularly in relation to homicide statistics in Trinidad and Tobago. \nWebsite: https://www.thecreolefactory.org/ \nInstagram: the.creole.factory \n  \nWorkshop Fee\n$145.00* prices not subject to GST \n*Access to using the A/P studio equipment\, including as a workshop participant\, requires an A/P membership.

SUMMARY:Linocut Basics
DESCRIPTION:This Linocut Basics workshop will provide an introduction to linocut printmaking\, covering the fundamentals of design\, carving\, and printing. Activities during the workshop will get students familiar with the process\, while focusing on safe carving technique\, image design and mark-making. \nOver the course of the day\, participants will develop an image\, transfer and carve it into a lino block\, and print a small edition of single-color prints. Students will finish the workshop with their carved block and set of original prints\, along with the foundational  knowledge needed to independently continue linocut printmaking. \n  \nWhat you’ll learn: ​​​​\n\nWhat should be considered when designing an image for the relief printing process\nHow to transfer the image to the block\nThe basics of carving linoleum safely and efficiently\nTechniques for dynamic mark making and texture in monochromatic linocut prints\nThe inking and printing process\nHow to setup and use a printing press for relief\nHow to clean and care for linocut tools and equipment\nDiscussion on continuing printmaking independently\, including tools to get started and considerations for materials and workspace\n\n  \nAbout the instructor:\nI am an artist living and working in Calgary\, Alberta. My work is primarily nature-themed\, featuring birds and plants. My art  is endlessly inspired by my experiences of the beautiful landscapes around me\, and I strive to capture a sense of the wonder I feel in nature in my prints. I primarily work in linocut\, but often combine techniques such as linocut\, silkscreen and watercolor on paper.  \nWebsite: https://www.hsanfordcreative.com/  \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hsanfordcreative \n  \nWorkshop Fee\n$145.00* prices not subject to GST \n*Access to using the A/P studio equipment\, including as a workshop participant\, requires an A/P membership.
