Linoleum relief printing follows the same basic principles as woodcut, but in a more accessible and easily carved medium. Artists such as Picasso and Matisse, however, were among the first to show that linoleum is a versatile and evocative medium in its own right. In this workshop, you will learn how to create beautiful multiple color prints through a step by step process of doing a 4 to 5 - color reduction linocut.
Emmanuel Montoya, a master printer with the wood and linoleum block, his experience teaching goes back to the mid 1980s. He has been practicing his craft in the S.F. bay Area as an artist for over 35 years. The tradition of contemporary Latin American and Mexican printmakers are his inspiration and an influence.
