Lino cut workshop

Post by Faith » Thu Oct 18, 2012 6:53 pm

Hey pals,
Me, Brittonie, and Margarita were hoping to do a linocut workshop in the cafe tomorrow from 2 - 5 and wondering if we could use 30 quid (maybe less) of forest money for some materials.

We need -

about 20 small sheets of lino (small pieces are usually about 30p a peice.)

a couple small rubber ink rollers

ink

a couple linocutter handles, 4 quid each

blades, 10p each

and paper, which I can try and source from scrap at uni.

The only things that won't go back to forest for reuse, say when we get some workshops running at argyle house, are the sheets of lino, and we can ask for donations to make up the cost.

Does that sound reasonable?

I think it sounds reasonable to me -- that will add up to max £30, right?

Yep, that's an estimate. I'm not sure how much ink and rollers are in shops but I looking at prices online, it looks like rollers are about a fiver, same with ink tubs.

Do this again!
