INTRODUCTION TO LINOLEUM CUT
Emmanuel Montoya
Class #63: Sundays, July 8, 15, 22, 10am-4pm
Tuition $325
Master printer Emmanuel Montoya will lead this three day, all-level workshop. Linoleum relief printing (linocut) follows the same basic principles as woodcut, but in a more accessible and easily carved medium. Because linoleum lacks the grain characteristic of wood, subtler effects and more precise lines can be attained. Linocut is often used as an introduction to relief printing methods. Artists such as Picasso and Matisse, however, were among the first to show that linoleum is a versatile and evocative medium in its own right. Students will work on two linoleum blocks to create their images in traditional relief style. Enrollment is limited to 8 students.
