CALLING ALL WOULD BE LINO CUT ARTISTS! Do you want to learn about lino cut from two expert printmakers? Eric Gaskell and Steve Davies will be teaching another small class next month (6-7 November, Friday afternoon 12-5 and Saturday 10-5). Max 6 students, using Steve's studio set up to print and catering to all levels of expertise. Book online. https://www.tickettailor.com/events/thealexandraartscompanyltd/2421919
DESCRIPTION:
Across two days, under the guidance of experienced printmakers Eric Gaskell and Steve Davies you will learn practice the lino printing processes from drawing the initial design to making proofs and revisions, until you have a finished print. You will work with equipment in Steve Davies' studio (located in the Alex) and learn about the tools, techniques and practices that Eric and Steve employ in their own printmaking.
The course is now in its eighth presentation. While it is suitable for newcomers the class size allows for customization to different skill levels and aspirations. This makes it very suitable for those who already know how to create lino cut art, or learned this skill in the past. One past student has attended three of these courses, using different approaches and techniques each time.
This is a great opportunity to properly understand the process, and benefit from individual tuition by experts as part of a very small class. We have often welcomed out of town visitors to this class and are happy to recommend places to stay in Rugby should you need to.
The course will be taught in the Art at the Alex art centre, using the Garden Room and Print Room areas. The timings are 12-5pm (Friday) and 10am-5pm (Saturday). The Rugby Town Rugby Town Crier Percival Guildhouse
