Activities at Atsitsa Bay, Greece

The Art of Linocut with Jo Morley

Sun 9 - Sun 16 Jun 2024

Printmaking using the Art of Linocut with Jo Morley

You will have the opportunity to explore the versatile and effective technique of Linocut.  Linocut is a mindful and creative process and the results are always a delightful surprise. Jo will guide you through every stage from planning, carving, printing and using colour in different ways. 

You will be inspired by your beautiful surroundings and be able to realise your own ideas and enjoy the process to achieve appealing outcomes.  It is always exciting to work as part of a group and see how diverse and wonderful everyone’s artwork is.  

Linocutting is a relief printmaking process.  The area of the lino block is carved away using special gouges creating the ‘white’ areas.  The areas left behind create the positive image and the printmaking ink is applied using a roller.  Jo will demonstrate and show you various ways to print, in layers onto paper to create different effects. 

The Art of Linocut has endless possibilities.  Pattern, Line, Texture, Shape, Colour and Composition will all be explored allowing for experimentation, surprise and the most successful finished prints.

About Jo Morley

Jo Morley is an artist and printmaker. She takes her inspiration from seeing beauty in the ordinary and everyday, sometimes stylising and abstracting what she sees.

A qualified teacher and working artist with a 'portfolio' career, combining teaching and her own creative practice.

What people say about Jo and her courses:

Jo - lovely, gentle guiding / teaching / encouraging - great for all levels and offered guidance for improvement rather than just saying all is wonderful. So enjoyed learning this skill, thank you.

All the facilitators are excellent. Jo - so calm.

Lovely atmosphere the whole time..

Jo said 'you just do you'. Her whole course oozed that. Jo was amazing. Such a gentle and encouraging touch, guiding us away from old thought furrows into a new way of seeing and creating.

Jo Morley was first class! The art produced was the best I have ever seen in an Atsitsa art class. Jo's teaching style has inspired me to continue with lino cut and with art in all its forms.
