TAFE SA
6 weeks
A hands-on six-week introduction to relief printmaking for beginners and experienced artists alike. Learn to design, carve, and print your own linocuts and woodcuts using traditional and experimental techniques.
This course is perfect for beginners with no prior experience in printmaking. Those familiar with relief printing will also discover new techniques and fresh creative approaches. Participants should bring a sketch notebook, pen, and pencil. Closed footwear (no sandals or high heels), hair tied back, and clothes suitable for printing with an apron are required.
The course covers introduction to relief printing and the printmaking studio, introduction and use of a range of tools, equipment and materials for printmaking, creating a small test linocut, working through the stages of designing, carving and printing a resolved linocut, and introduction and trialling of woodcut printmaking and experimental printing techniques. Most materials are included, though participants may bring their own inks, paper or textiles to print with.
TAFE SA is a leading vocational education provider in South Australia.
