Both Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse popularized the linocut printmaking technique. While Picasso created a series of linocuts based on old master paintings, Matisse explored how he could use only a few expressive lines to represent a face or a reclining figure, taking advantage of the refinement that one can achieve due to the smoothness of the surface of linoleum. In this printmaking workshop, we will explore not only the intricacies of working with linoleum, but also the complex details of working with printmaking in general. We will learn how a print is a mirror image of the drawing that has been cut onto the worked surface, e.g., a sheet of linoleum, from which the ink is transferred to the paper. Finally, we will use water-soluble printing inks that are non-toxic and will explore printing both by hand and with a press.
