Atelier Module I
550,00 lei
Taxes included.
Monthly workshops intended for adult beginners hosted in the beautiful greenhouse at Primitiv Plants. Each session lasts for about 3 hours and focuses on the manual printing process, covering notions of repetitive design and linocut. Participants will learn to use linocut tools - chisels, cutters, and rollers - to print a pattern based on a unique illustration, repeated multiple times on a paper surface. Next workshop to be announced soon!
More details
We will explore modern linocut techniques, color, repetition and rhythm, positive and negative space, and other useful concepts for creating a 10×10 cm repeat pattern. At the end of the workshop, participants will take home their printed object along with the linocut block, so they can continue developing their own series of prints, as well as information about the best sources for materials available on the market for manual printing.
And last but not least, each participant will take home their own linocut kit, a complete set of chisels, a linocut plate, and an inking tray. The workshop lasts approximately 3 hours and is suitable for adult beginners.
