Sat 20 Jun, 11am-5pm
Learn the basics of Linocut, a beginner friendly process that makes a perfect introduction to printmaking. You will learn how to transfer an image onto your lino, carve your lino blocks and create a small edition of 2-colour prints.
You’ll explore the tools and materials involved, and receive helpful tips and expert guidance from our artist-facilitator to support your ongoing practice at home. This session is ideal for beginners eager to learn the art of linocutting. You'll leave the workshop with your prints, your original lino blocks and the knowledge to continue the process at home.

What’s Included?
All materials you will use are included in the cost of the course, but you are welcome to bring along your own if you choose. Our studios are always striving to be more environmentally friendly and use greener printmaking processes and consumables where possible.
Do I need to prepare anything beforehand?
No, but if you’d like to prepare a drawing or reference image to bring with you to use during your workshop you are more than welcome.
