🎨 **Colour Linocut Prints with Multiple Plates – Workshop** 🎨

Join artist **Tamara McKimmie** for a hands-on two-day workshop exploring the art of coloured linocut printing.

⏰ **Time:** 10:00am – 4:00pm
📍 **Location:** Center for Theology and Ministry (Uniting Church), 29 College Crescent, Parkville VIC

Starting with your own design ideas—whether from photos, sketches, or collage—you’ll learn how to simplify and separate your image into colour layers. Using 2–3 lino blocks, you’ll carve each plate and bring your design to life through layered printing.

We’ll guide you through:
• Design development & image transfer
• Lino carving tools and techniques
• Colour selection and mixing
• Registration methods using Ternes Burton™ Pins & tabs
• Printing your own small edition (by hand and/or small press)

📅 **Registrations close: 12 June 2026**

New year, new skills ✍️

We’re excited to kick off 2026 with our first workshop of the year:

While we won’t explore variations just yet, the knowledge you gain will become the pillar skills you’ll return to again and again as your practice grows.

🖥 Online via Zoom

⏰ 7–9pm (AEDT)
🎥 Recordings available for 2 months after the final class
