Service Description
What is a manicule?! A manicule is a printing block of a pointing hand, usually used in letterpress to draw your attention to a particular area or piece of text! In this 3 hour workshop you'll be shown different examples of manicules and then how to prepare your own design before transferring it onto a lino block, carving and printing either by hand or using a press. If you're into letterpress, a manicule is the perfect addition to combine with text and you might also be interested in trying our Let's Letterpress short course or our new Letterpress & Lino combo course! Lino cut involves carving a block with various tools to create a design that is left in relief. Areas left raised will print and areas that are removed will not print. The result can be quite graphic, detailed or sculptural depending on your design. You will be fully inducted to use the tools and equipment available at our studio and materials will be provided including 1XA6 lino block, paper and ink. If you have any questions, check out our FAQ page, contact us via norwichprintmakers@gmail.com or via the Contact Us page! Please read our cancellation policy (below) before booking.
