A linocut workshop aimed at the Queer community, which implements dynamic and intuitive portraiture. In this workshop you will be guided through the entire linocut printing process from start to finish, including the creation of your designs, carving and printing. In addition, this workshop will focus on portraiture and will include a drawing section where participants will work in alternating pairs to create portraits of each other using quick and dynamic techniques.
This workshop is suitable for absolute beginners, as well as those who have some printmaking experience and want to approach the medium in a new way. You will not need to bring anything for the workshop, but please be aware that we will be working with sharp materials as well as oil-based inks and you are advised to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
Please note that this workshop is for participants aged 18+ and aimed at those who identify as Queer.
The workshop will be run by Nikolas Wereszczyński who is an active painter and printmaker. He has experience running art workshops with the Red Art Club in Clapham as well as Camden Council, and has recently completed the Camden Trans Folk Project for Love Camden.
