Reduction Linocut: Blends, Layers & Registration
Israel Campos
Tuition $1,250
Code R0303-26
Dive into the compelling printmaking process of reduction linocut printed by hand on Japanese paper. The reduction method is a relief printmaking technique for making multi-color prints from one block of wood, or, in this class, linoleum. With each layer of carving and impression, students discover the transformation and complexity of their image, adding depth, color, and dynamism. The process results in a rich, textured print with layered detail specific to this unique medium. Students learn to prepare paper and blocks for printing using registration tabs and pins. Blend rolls and stencils are introduced as a means to add further detail and richness.
