Our first printmaking taster workshop took place Saturday at the Charlton Art Centre, Dover. Visitors were able to experience and explore hand relief-printing techniques, from potato printing, mono-prints and linocuts. There was time to cut some lino blocks, using a selection of tools and environmentally friendly water-based emulsion inks, before pulling a short print edition with a small hand-press designed by German company Abig.

Sponsored by Dover Town Council, the workshop was one in a series of community workshops being staged by the White Cliffs Creatives Guild in Dover through 2009.

Woodcut and Linocut prints are inked and individually hand-printed by the artist. Larger prints are printed by the artist using the old Albion press at the studios of St.Barnabas Press, Cambridge. Editions usually consist of 35 examples, numbered and signed, and these are printed on a number of different papers such as the slightly warm toned Kent and the bright white Snowdon. Some individual hand-tinted prints are also sometimes available.
