Service Description

Reduction Lino Printmaking Let your child explore the exciting world of reduction lino printing in our engaging two-day workshop at Lavender Leonardos! This specialist printmaking technique allows young artists to create multi-layered prints using just one lino block. Guided by expert instructors, children will carve, ink, and print in stages, gradually building up two layers of colour to form a beautifully intricate final piece. This class is perfect for beginners and those who are looking to progress their printmaking skills. With all materials provided, your child only needs to bring their imagination! What is Reduction Lino Printing? Reduction lino printing is a multi-layered printmaking method where the same lino block is carved in stages. After each layer is printed, more of the block is cut away before applying the next colour, meaning each step reduces the surface available for printing—hence the name "reduction." Once completed, the block cannot be reused, making each artwork a truly unique and limited edition print. Why Join? - Learn a new printmaking technique while building artistic confidence. - Develop fine motor skills and patience through careful carving. - Create a stunning two-layer print to take home. - A fantastic portfolio builder for aspiring young artists.
