Saturday 31 October
10:30am - 4pm
The Workshop
Discover the bold, tactile world of linocut in this hands-on workshop. You’ll learn how to create a striking one-colour print from start to finish - beginning with transferring your design, then carving textures and marks into lino, and finally inking and printing your block by hand (no press required).
Feeling confident? You’ll also have the option to explore a second layer and experiment with two-colour printing.
Inspired by nature, your designs can draw directly from seasonal beauty and from natural imagery you bring along.
You’ll leave with your own finished prints - and a list of recommended tools and suppliers so you can keep creating at home.
The Artist
Cally Conway is a London based printmaker, working predominately in the medium of linocut and collage. Her prints focus on themes such as folklore, nature, and myths, and the symbolism contained within flora and fauna. She is drawn to celestial events and their interpretation in ancient cultures, along with medieval texts such as herbals and illuminated manuscripts.
Cally’s work ranges from personal print projects to fabric and wallpaper designs, and book cover illustrations. She has a keen interest in traditional crafts and the applied arts such as tapestry and historical costume embroidery. These influences underpin her image making and use of pattern and detail in her work.
Callys work can also be seen on the gallery here at Atelier by The Sea, and has recently been selected for the Inspired by Standen: The Future of Arts and Crafts at Standen House.
The Setting
This workshop takes place at Atelier Beside the Sea, an arts venue set within three of Brighton’s iconic King’s Road Arches between the Palace and West Piers. It offers a vibrant programme of art and craft designed to inspire both locals and visitors.
