Welcome to "Cut by Cut - The online course to your first colorful lino print".
In 9 modules and over 50 videos, I show you step by step my entire workflow and we practice all processes using two given designs. The A6 sized training design is used to go through all the processes on a small scale and practice them. Afterwards you will be able to print the A4 sized and three color salad bowl design. Or choose a super cute bunny motif, that we work on together! Now new comes a module about printing on fabric, if you ever wanted to print your own tote bags or t-shirts.
You will learn everything needed to make your own colorful lino prints using my multiblock method. Let's start this journey together 🥳 I can’t wait for you!
Feel free to check out the module overview - all these videos are in Cut by Cut. 👇
