The Workshop

At the start of the summer holidays why not come and spend a fun, intriguing day learning how to carve lino and print your own unique design to hang on your wall and / or give as gifts! Great for beginners and those who have given it a go before.

Your tutor, Marcus, is looking forward to meeting you and says: “ Here are some benefits to attending and having a go with lino printing & attending a class like this:
• Problem solving using a hands-on creative medium
• Helps lower stress + learning a new craft
• It’s quite meditative! Especially with carving
• You can show off your unique hand-printed art works!
• Improves concentration, eye co-ordination and hand dexterity
• Also fun to do!
• Crafting with others is a great way to meet new people with similar interests

At the end of the class, you’ll leave with an array of hand-printed designs made by you! And perhaps discover a love for printmaking.”

What to bring?

Anticipation to enjoy the whole experience! Just grab your reading glasses if you need them.

What skills are needed?

No experience is necessary. Just concentration, eye co-ordination and hand dexterity. NB: some pressure is required to use the carving tool to make marks in the lino.

What are the timings?

This is a relaxed, day running from 10am to 4pm.

Our purple front door will be open from 9.30am so we can welcome you in, you can get to meet Marcus and your fellow crafters and grab a cuppa before you start.

How many places are available?

To ensure the quality of your personal experience, the group size is limited to 8.

What is the cost?

£67.50 + £1.28 card fee. This includes all the materials needed to make your hand-printed design, drinks and home-made biscuits during the day (excluding lunch)
