WOODCUT AND LINOCUT VIRTUAL COURSE

      

Woodcuts and linocuts are included in relief printing processes, in which the matrix is produced by carving a block of wood or a linoleum sheet.

​

These accessible techniques are recommended as an introduction to printmaking or for other art projects such as carving stamps, illustrating books and magazines, creating Ex libris, etc.

​

The course is also ideal for designers or anyone interested in handmade printing, either to start their own clothing line, to customize or recycle clothes, etc.

​

Through 14 step-by-step videos participants will learn to carve, ink and print their own matrixes at home.
