Join Kathy Hutton in her studio for a festive themed relaxed and practical introduction to the art of Lino Printing.

Learn to design and carve your own lino block in this fun and sociable festive workshop.

I've over 15 years of experience in teaching printing workshops, with my guidence you will learn how to create your own Christmas motifs, transfer them onto the lino block and learn the skils to carve out your design, creating your own printing block.

I'll then share my tips on inking up your lino and printing, showing you how to get even prints, you can then print your own cards and tags.

I will have images and inspiration for you to work from, but please feel free to bring your own images if you already have something specific in mind.

You will be working on a single colour print, but I'll also show you some simple ways to add extra colours to your work and you'll have time to experiment.

I'll provide tea, coffee and homemade cake.
