Printmaking: Advanced Linocut
with Nick Morley

This course offers students two days of Advanced Linocut printmaking.

Nick Morley is an artist and illustrator specialising in linocuts. His illustrations have appeared on book covers for Penguin and Faber & Faber and on the cover of ICON magazine. He has taught printmaking workshops for five years and makes linocuts in his studio in Margate, having previously lived and worked in London.

Saturday: Nick will present examples of his own work and examples from contemporary and 20th century linocut artists. Students will then explore mark-making and practise their carving techniques before making a single block design in black and white. In the afternoon students will be guided through printing their blocks and be shown how to control the printed image through choice of ink/paper and inking and printing technique.

Sunday: The focus for the day will be on printing in colour. Students will make a two-block linocut with a focus on registration, colour mixing, transparency, layering and controlling printed textures.

AAP studio is a low-toxic environment with professional printmaking facilities and a hands-on learning experience for a maximum of 8 students per course.
