Linovember

#Linovember

This month we are introducing the brand new creative challenge, ‘Linovember’

We are challenging you to do some printmaking and create a series lino prints during the month of November. Your lino prints can be daily or weekly creations depending on the time you have available.

And if you don’t have all the kit for lino printing, try experimenting with other materials! You could try sticking textured material onto card and printing with that, or carving a pattern into a potato and using an ink pad… There are no end of creative ways to improvise!

Rules

1. HAVE FUN!!!

Guidelines

1. Your lino prints can be as simple or elaborate as you like
2. Don’t let lack of materials put you off, improvise a bit
3. You are encouraged to share your daily progress throughout the month on social media, or on your own blog if you have one and don’t forget to link back to us! We might even feature your lino prints on our blog!

Tips to make things a little more manageable

• You could print onto coloured or textured papers or even onto fabric

Optional

At the end of the month, why not make a little video (up to three minutes long) of your lino prints and send it to us? Or just email us some of your favourite ones. With your permission, we may even feature your work on our site

We can not wait to see your lino prints!
