Discover the pleasure of this artistic ‘stamping technique’ for creating small format graphics. A simple drawing is gouged from a sheet of linoleum. With the printing press and special paints, we make multiple prints on paper in one or more colors. All materials are provided. Choose a design option to get started right away, or create your own design inspired by the Cobra artworks in the Open Depot exhibition on the first floor.
Pauline van Buringen
This linoprint workshop is taught and guided by Pauline van Buringen, she is a printmaker and painter, living and working in Amsterdam. After a graphic education and a career in graphic and spatial design, she started painting in 2010. First outdoors, by observation, but due to her interest in a simplified image, now using a mix of sketches, photographs and fantasy. Architecture and water often come up as subjects. She translates this into her own “graphic realism” with limited use of color, few details, high contrast and clear directions. Light, shadow and reflections are the icing on the cake here.
The technique of lino printing fits well with this simple style: working from planes with the power of simplicity. She is both an enthusiastic creator and inspired teacher and would like to teach you this technique from the conviction: ‘Less is more’. For an impression, see: www.vanburingen-art.nl/linoprints
