Welcome to "Cut by Cut" – The online course for your first colorful lino print!
In 9 modules and over 50 videos, I will guide you step by step through my entire workflow. Together, we will practice all the key processes using two pre-designed motifs:
First, we start with a small A6 training design to go through every technique on a manageable scale.
Once you’ve mastered the basics, you'll move on to the larger A4 three-color "Salad Bowl" design or, if you prefer, a super cute bunny motif that we’ll work on together!
🎉 New: A dedicated module on printing on fabric – perfect if you’ve ever wanted to create your own tote bags or T-shirts!
You will learn everything you need to create your own colorful lino prints using my multiblock method. Let's start this journey together — I can't wait for you to join! 🥳
