The Lino Ladies
Showing In Store and Online March 28th - April 28th
Opening Reception April 12th 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm
“The Lino Ladies” (more formally known as the Lansing Area Printmakers’ Collective) is a group of artists who use the linocut as a common point of departure in our artwork. Each artist has her own way of branching out from there. Some work mostly in black and white, some in color. Some use fabric or exotic papers. Some combine lino work with ceramic, encaustic, or other media. All the different interests and experiences mean that the Lino Ladies constantly learn from and inspire each other.
It all started with a class…
It all started with a class. In 2015, Laura DeLind taught a 6-week linoleum block printing class at Grove Gallery in E. Lansing Michigan. It was such a happy combination of art and personalities that she repeated the class six months later for essentially the same group of people. One thing led to another, and eventually the group ended up with a small press, a monthly meeting schedule, and a calendar of group exhibits.
Our by-far-the-biggest project took place in July of 2023, when the group organized and hosted Mason, INK: the Mason, Michigan Big Print Event. Giant blocks of lino, 2 feet x 3 feet, were carved by our group and by prominent guest artists, then inked and printed in the street by driving an asphalt roller over them!
We love sharing our art, and hope you enjoy the show.
