About this plan
If printmaking catches your eye and you want to try it for the first time, this illustration workshop on linocut in Bogota is a solid starting point. The Gabriel Garcia Marquez Public Library in Tunal opens its doors to a classic technique that turns drawings into printed images, and entry is free.
During the session you will learn the basic tools, the principles of printmaking, and how working with a matrix actually works. You will also play with lines, textures, and contrast to create your own prints. It is a cultural plan in Bogota built for learning by doing, with no prior experience needed and materials supplied by the workshop.
The session is part of the Lentes y trazos series from BibloRed, a program that brings illustration and printmaking to a wide range of audiences. If you are looking for a different way to spend an afternoon in Bogota, this one is calm, creative, and free.
