The process requires patience, attention and direct engagement with the materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt a time when technology allows images to be created instantly, traditional printmaking offers something different: a tactile experience rooted in touch, repetition and craftsmanship. The rhythmic act of inking and burnishing becomes almost meditative, creating space for focus, observation and a deeper connection with the making process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is this workshop for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis workshop is designed for artists, printmakers and creative practitioners who already have some experience with relief printmaking and would like to deepen their understanding of the printing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than focusing on carving techniques or beginner-level introductions, the workshop explores the practical and physical aspects of hand-printing large linocut blocks, including inking, paper selection, pressure control and achieving consistent print quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticipants will leave with four original A3 prints and an insight into the techniques behind large-scale hand-printed linocuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInformations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlaces are limited to \u003cstrong\u003efour participants\u003c\/strong\u003e per workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull payment is required at the time of booking to secure your place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf a workshop is fully booked, please contact Aga Kubish to join the waiting list \u0026gt;\u0026gt; agakubish@gmail.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticipants are advised to wear clothes suitable for working with printing inks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFree parking is available directly outside the building.
