PRUE HUTTON WILL TAKE “EXPLORING AND EXPERIMENTING WITH BLOCK PRINTING”

This one-day workshop will be suitable for those with no printmaking experience and for all those who like to experiment with designs. We will use block printing techniques to cleverly create small patterns which, when printed in different frequencies, will form a variety of amazing larger designs. We will be using ‘ezy carve’ printing blocks and conventional lino cutting tools. Ezy carve is a rubber block that is very easy to cut - a bit like carving butter.
