Join this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop and dive into the creative world of linocut, a striking form of relief printmaking. Using cutting tools, you’ll carve your own design into soft linoleum, ink the raised surfaces and transfer your image onto paper to produce bold and high-contrast prints. You’ll experiment with multiple prints and make a little concertina book to take home.
No experience needed! Whether you’re new to printmaking or just curious to try something tactile and rewarding, this session offers a fun and creative introduction to linocut.
Nathalie suggests producing one image based on natural forms. She will bring in resources to for participants to work with but you are welcome to bring in your own images and resources.
What You’ll Learn:
- Using natural forms as inspiration
- How to design and transfer an image
- Safe and effective carving techniques
- Mark-making and texture experimentation
- Printing by hand or using a press
- Creating backgrounds and making a small concertina book
An apron and packed lunch is recommended.
About the Artist
Nathalie Stone is a cyanotype and printmaking artist, originally from Switzerland and living in Swansea since1987. Her practice is rooted in exploration and experimentation, with a particular focus on cyanotype and linocut techniques.
“I’m captivated by their unpredictable nature, which brings a sense of magic and surprise that constantly sparks my curiosity.”
Deeply inspired by the natural beauty of the Gower and its breath-taking coastline, Nathalie collects organic materials during walks, pressing and incorporating them into her work. This process not only fuels her creativity but also supports her personal wellbeing.
Cyanotype and linocut offer limitless possibilities, allowing her to experiment with diverse surfaces. She especially enjoys working outdoors, where sunlight and water play an active role in shaping each piece. Her work reflects a personal journey, a connection to nature and ‘la joie de vivre.’ She is also passionate about photography and alternative processes.
