Lino printing at the Omnibus Theatre by Red Art Club ❤️🔥
Our fabulous new workshop will include an introduction to lino printing, etching your own lino stamp and printing your stamp onto paper.
For this session we will be drawing from still life and transferring one artwork onto a lino block. You’ll leave with your own unique lino block stamp with two prints of your stamp on paper.
You’ll also be able to reuse your lino block stamp after the class. It can be used to stamp T-shirts, tote bags, notebooks, gift cards- anything that has a thick surface so that the ink stays in place and doesn’t transfer through.
We will also give you aftercare instructions with links to all the materials that you’ll need to continue creating your own lino prints outside of our classes 🎨
All materials are provided. These are: an A3 canvas board with as much paper as you want, drawing materials, two lino blocks per person, lino cutting tools, stamping rollers, stamping ink, and specialised Kent paper to stamp your finished lino block.
Who are we? Red Art Club is a small, independent business run by a group of socialist artists.
Our instructor for our lino printing class will be Nikolas (he/him) who is an artist and specialises in lino printing.
On top of lino printing workshops we run weekly life drawing classes at the Omnibus Theatre, Clapham Common as well as monthly life drawing speed dating events in partnership with the Thursday dating app. We host a different model each session, head over to our instagram page (@redartclub_) to see which model we are hosting this week ✨
We also run pop up sculpture workshops at the Omnibus Theatre where we sculpt a mini figurine of a nude life model.
🥂 There is a 10% discount at the bar for all of our artists in the session 🥂
All you have to do to claim your discount is to show one of your drawings from the class to the bartender 🎨
If you do not drink alcohol, the Omnibus Theatre also serves hot drinks and soft drinks ☕️
