In this class we will look at how to make a portrait in linocut, and print it onto paper with black ink. Linocut is a printmaking technique, with which you create a reproducible image.

This class is suitable for all levels, also for complete beginners, as there is the option of transferring a photograph or a found image onto the lino, after editing it digitally. This way, no prior drawing skills are necessary. If you do have drawing skills, you can also use an original sketch - just make sure you photocopy it to size for transferring it to our printing block, and use the copy, so as not to ruin the original.

You will need a phone or laptop and a scanner / printer.

The way we are going to print it requires no printing press, so you can do this at home!
