Introduction to Linocut: Teens

Unleash Your Creativity: The Ultimate Linocut Adventure for Teens

Hey there, creative adventurers! Are you ready to dive into a world where your imagination takes the lead, and your hands create magic? This summer, The Armarie Room is transforming into a linocut lab, designed exclusively for teens who are itching to explore the bold and dynamic world of printmaking. From May 15th to June 19th, prepare to get your hands dirty (in ink, of course!) and discover the satisfying art of linocut.

Linocut 101: Carve, Ink, Print!

What's linocut, you ask? Picture this: you carve your designs into a soft block, roll some ink over it, and press it onto paper. Voilà, your masterpiece is born! It's a process that's as cool as it sounds. With every slice and cut, you'll bring your ideas to life, creating sharp, stunning imagery with just a single colour. But the real magic? It's all in the marks you make, turning simple cuts into spectacular visual stories.

Why Linocut Rocks for Teens

Let's face it; teens want more than just another class—they want an experience. That's exactly what you'll get at The Armarie Room. You're not just learning to make art; you're learning to express yourself in bold, new ways. Plus, we're all about making it easy and fun. We use soft carving blocks that are a dream to carve, meaning you get to see your results faster and without the hassle. And when it's time to print, our beautiful cast-iron press stands ready to transform your carved masterpiece into printed brilliance.

Beyond the Classroom: Printmaking at Home and School

Think the fun ends when the class does? Think again! We'll teach you how to use a hand baren, a tool that lets you continue your printmaking journey wherever you are—at home or at school. Imagine creating custom t-shirts, posters for your room, or unique gifts for friends and family. The possibilities are endless, and we're here to show you how.

Your Art, Your Way

Here's the best part: you get to create art that's uniquely you. Bring any drawings or images that inspire you, and we'll help you transform them into linocut prints. It's your vision, your creativity, unleashed in a way you've never experienced before. And at the end of the six weeks, you'll have not just new skills but original artworks you've made to show for it. How cool is that?

Small Groups, Big Ideas

Forget crowded classes where you can barely see what's happening. Our courses are intimate, meaning you get the attention and space you need to let your creativity flourish. You'll learn alongside a small group of fellow teen creatives, sharing ideas, inspiration, and maybe a few laughs along the way.

So, are you ready to step into the exciting world of linocut printmaking? Whether you're a seasoned artist or just looking for a fun new hobby, The Armarie Room's linocut course for teens is the perfect summer adventure. Come join us and turn your creative sparks into printed marvels. Let's make this summer unforgettable—one print at a time!
