An online workshop in which you will create your own lino prints for the wall, to create greetings cards or to give as gifts.

You will receive online interactive demo sessions plus full written and video instructions you can watch as often as you want. Plus there is the option to purchase a lino printing kit with cutting tools, lino blocks (two 10cm square pieces), a selection of printing papers, water based printing ink and a non slip mat for cutting.

During the course you will cut your own lino and learn about about reversing of images and positive/negative space, cutting techniques, and how to ink up your block. You will then will print images, on a variety of papers to create a print that is absolutely yours ready to frame and gift or hang at home. 

A great workshop for beginners to get a taste for printmaking - see here what previous participants have created.

It’ll be fun and at the end you’ll have a unique print to keep or give away. You’ll also have your own unique lino blocks that you can re-use to print your own cards or other items. And tools to use if you want to keep on printing!
