I spent the evening in the school’s print-making workshop. This is my first attempt at print-making using the linopad. I created the design from my photograph of the famous Henderson Teochew porridge stall. I converted the photograph into black and white and flipped it horizontally, before tracing onto the linopad. After which, I used the wood-carving tools to carve out patterns. It was quite straight-forward but it allowed the learning of positive and negative space.
Looking back at this design, I should have reduced the positive(white) areas, so that the black and white does not look so balanced. But what is done, cannot be undone. I would hand this up tomorrow morning.
