Artist Gill Sakakini came to college and led us through an exercise in creating our own ink prints based on symbols from the stories from Passion Week.
Step One: Think of an object and turn it into a design.
Step Two: Transfer your design onto a piece of rubber and carve it out. The rubber we used cut like a hot knife through butter compared to the lino we used as kids!!
Step Three: Roll out some ink till it makes that sticky noise.
Step Four: Ink up your rubber and place it firmly onto the card. Twenty four times..
Step Five: Give everyone a copy of your print!
I was so impressed with everyone’s prints, they were all really successful! I’m going to hang them up for Easter when we get back to Oxford so you can see what I mean.
