Masterclass with Sam Marshall: Drawing into Print
2 day course
9 & 10 October 2025
10am to 4pm
£250 including all materials
In this 2-day workshop, we will explore drawing and look at ways to turn your drawings into prints. Sketchbook drawings need reworking and re-thinking to successfully produce a linocut print from them.
In the middle of the studio there will be an extravagant autumnal still life from which to draw from. You will spend the first morning drawing using pencil and charcoal, producing quick expressive drawings. In the afternoon you will experiment with various forms of monoprinting.
On the second day you will draw from the still life again but this time exploring how to draw for linocut and investigate how this approach differs. You will use one of your drawings and turn it into an A6 single colour linocut.
Course structure:
Day 1:
- draw from observation and the prepared still life arrangement
- learn how to translate your drawings into a suitable design for linocut printing
- Experiment with monoprinting textures and drawing methods
Day 2:
- Draw and cut a final design on lino
- Learn to register your plate
- Print your lino on the relief presses
