Blind embossing is a technique used to create a raised design on the paper without the use of ink creating subtle textures and shapes that change with the angle of the light.
In this two-day workshop you will combine the technique of blind embossing with linocut to create a multidimensional print.
All materials will be provided.
You may want to consider imagery before you arrive, and bring a few photographs or a sketchbook for reference.
Some knowledge of technique is useful but not essential.
About the Artist
Charlotte’s work begins with a moment of connection she experiences in the natural world and the yearning to translate this experience into an image through the printmaking process.
Her work acknowledges the rhythms and cycles of nature and the dynamic beauty she observes in the landscape. She is often drawn to the places where water meets the land, finding the visual contrasts between these two elements particularly inspiring.
Charlotte works primarily with relief printing methods and finds great freedom within the confines of the printmaking process with each element bringing its own unique opportunities for the unexpected to happen.
She uses a variety of tools to cut away and reveal the image from the block, often working intuitively to add texture and pattern using the natural chisel marks to depict the forms she experiences in the landscape around her. She then prints the carved blocks in succession, altering the colour and transparency of the ink in response to the previous layers to give the desired effect.
