Printmaking with Pavel Piekar #2

On Saturday, a second group of students — Olivia, Kylie, and Ben — visited printmaker Pavel Piekar in his Hradčanska studio to make lino prints.

This time, Pavel began by showing the prints that the first group of students made last week. He also talked about techniques and approaches to lino prints.

He then showed some of his own lino prints.

Next, Pavel looked at each student’s sketchbook to help them decide which drawing to use for their print.

Then it was time to draw the sketch on the linoleum and carve the surface.

Photos of the final print to come — stay tuned! We brought the first prints home to the apartments. Here Sophie and Ari are looking at their finished work!
