Lino cutting preparation

I'm leading a set of three workshops in April and have been pondering how to make them different from each other, while building on each other for those that book on all three, but also as units on their own. The first session is going to be inspired by the work of Jan Brewerton. I have quite a few nice pots, jugs and mugs that we can use as a design source, so it was a quick piece after work and before cooking tea to test some new water-based inks and just to get my own head around a design ...an excuse to play too. So the design isn't perfect, and nor is the cutting or printing but that wasn't the point. Pleased with the inks and potential to develop a design too...as well as test the same design on soft sculpt for those who may find cutting grey lino hard. So session one - single colour and focus on line.
