Today I had an introduction to printmaking, and in specific lino printing. this is something I had never had the opportunity to do but; always wanted to have a go. The students have been working on a series of drawing technique's this terms and cover assistant Chris put together a freehand portrait exercise where by the students had to carve straight onto the lino whilst looking at their partner. understanding the balance of how much to carve out and what is carved isn't printed takes a while to understand, however some of results were fantastic ! each student had adopted a different style and way of using the tools. All in all a very clear and productive session and one that I wouldn't mind adopting in the future.
