For the Love of Lino

For the Love of Lino at Napier's Community Arts Centre, Napier.

For the love of Lino is a group exhibition by the talented artists that participated in beginners Linocut evening classes this year. Meet the artists and find out more about Linocut classes at CAN!

The work on display is the result of the beginners’ investigation into multi-block printing with lino – a technique where each layer of colour is printed from a separate carved block.

During their sessions the students have developed strong friendships and developed a thriving passion for printmaking. They have experienced the highs and lows of working through challenges and frustration to achieve their desired result and have been rewarded with happy accidents along the way.

Printmaking is a medium that offers boundless possibilities, and endless scope for learning. This exhibition is a celebration of the group’s achievements, and an opportunity for them to share their success with family and friends.
