Dale Devereux Barker – Masterclass in layering with Multi Block Linocutting
2 day course
14 & 15 May 2025
10am to 4pm
£250 for 2 days including all materials
Artist & Printmaker Dale Devereux Barker has been using lino for over forty years and is constantly reinventing how this humble material can be manipulated into producing surprising and engaging imagery.
This course is aimed at investigating the fascinating world of making lino blocks talk to each other. This may be with a view to extending beyond the boundaries that a single block can offer or it may be a way to introduce an element of risk or chance with blocks that seemingly have no reference to each other.
Course structure
• Introduction to the techniques and process and view examples of Dale’s prints
• Initially working on a small scale (12x12cm) to refresh yourself with the technique, learn how to create your own plates
• Experiment with various aspects of using different opacities and transparencies of inks as well as the use of reduction cutting.
• Learn how to create duplicate blocks and explore the use of different colour combinations
• You will be encouraged by Dale to be creative in making your new blocks work in conjunction with the original one.
