The students will then delve into the art form of wood block prints and produce a print designed from recycled wood blocks and newly designed small Lino cuts creating an A3 sized Colored Print which will truly look spectacular. Student will also create a small textile print combing Lino print with fabric. This truly should not be missed for all of our young art enthusiasts.
