Calendar Printing Workshop - Linocut & Screenprinting
Workshop Information
About the Workshop
Join us for a hands-on Calendar Printing Workshop where you'll explore two printmaking techniques, Linocut and Screen Printing, to create your very own handcrafted 2027 calendar.
You'll be learning from professional printmakers who will guide you through the entire process, from carving your own image to screen printing the calendar numbers. No prior experience is required; we'll take you through everything step by step, even if you're trying printmaking for the very first time!
Time: 11am - 3pm
Date: 21st November, Saturday
Location: Underline Center, Indiranagar
How Will It Work?
You'll create your calendar across two sheets, with six months on each sheet. The calendar numbers will be screen printed, while the images will be printed using linocut.
You can either use your own carved block to print the image on both sheets or exchange blocks with another participant to print a different artwork on your second sheet.
What Can You Bring?
If you have a composition in mind, bring a reference image printed in A5 size, in landscape orientation. You can even incorporate 2027 into your artwork!
If you don't have a design in mind, we'll have visual references available for you to choose from.
