Reduction Linocut Winter School

Leicester Print Workshop is delighted to present our three day Winter Printmaking Schools in early 2024.

Taking place over the last weekend in January, these three day immersions will give participants a chance to dedicate time to their printmaking practice. With a choice of Bookmaking, (with Rahel Zoller), Offset Lithography Zines (with Sue Baker Kenton) and Reduction Linocut (with Peter Rapp), participants will enjoy the opportunity to experiment, play, explore and focus on their chosen technique.

These courses build on the successes of our popular weeklong Summer Schools, and present a new opportunity for artistic development, inspiration and growth over Winter.

Join artist Peter Rapp to design and cut your own reduction prints, successively cutting and printing from the same block of lino until it’s satisfactorily destroyed to produce  multilayered printwork. A short intensive course, you will create relief prints of depth and technical excellence and be taught the best tips and techniques from an artist with a lifetime of learning and practice.
