Beginners Welcome!!
Deadline for registration is Monday, September 7th.
LINOLEUM CUT: STRATEGY & TECHNIQUE with Nicholas Collins.
From raw, brutal expressionism to delicate, highly detailed rendering, the linocut is truly an exciting and vital medium. We will explore examples of linocut prints from Matisse to artistic movements in Russia, Germany, Britain and Mexico. We will discuss approaches to layout and design to give you the freedom to best express your images. You can focus your approach on directly transferred images or steer away from the drawing with a more sculptural “cut & proof” repetition technique. You will develop confidence with cutting tools and learn hand printing techniques. This is an excellent, inexpensive and non-toxic art form to take with you to your home studio.
Instructor, Nicholas Collins studied sculpture at UCSB, and printmaking at College of the Redwoods. He trained in etching and linocut at KALA in Berkeley where he was an artist in residence for two years. His work can be seen at Northcoast Artists Gallery in Fort Bragg, Prentice Gallery in Mendocino and Collector Art Shop in Berkeley.
Wondering what Linoleum Cut is? If you're looking for a new medium to explore...
Very similar to woodcuts, Linoleum Cut is a printing method using a sheet of linoleum. It is a subtractive cutting method — taking away the parts of linoleum where you want to leave the white of the page, and keeping the
parts you want to be inked! The result yields a linocut that can reproduce the same image over and over again. While linoleum was first invented in the 1860s, it wasn't used as a medium for printing until the early 1900s in Germany, where it was first used for making patterns on wallpaper! Artists ranging from Pablo Picasso to Henri Matisse have made linocuts, and today it is considered a respected art form. Linocuts are also very popular in teaching children in schools about the rewarding art of printmaking.
