LINOCUT PRINTMAKING WORKSHOP
Linocut printing is a traditional method of making limited edition prints from a carved linoleum block. Believed to have originated around 1912 from Russian Constructivist artists, most prints then were made purely in black and white. However, around early 1920s, linocut prints with colour began to surface in the UK. Picasso and Matisse are among some of the notable artists known to have produced linocut prints.
