🎨 About this workshop

Discover the magic of linocut printmaking in this relaxed, beginner‑friendly 2‑hour workshop. Perfect for anyone curious about carving, printmaking, or simply trying a new creative skill, this session guides you through the full process — from designing your motif to pulling your first finished print.

No experience needed. You’ll learn step‑by‑step, at your own pace, in a calm 1:1 studio environment designed to help beginners feel confident, supported, and inspired.

✨ What you’ll learn

Designing a simple motif — Choose shapes and forms that work beautifully for your first print.

Carving techniques — Learn safe, effective ways to carve clean lines and textures.

Inking your block — Explore how ink behaves and how to achieve smooth, even coverage.

Pulling your first print — Use a baren or press to create your finished artwork.

Printing on handmade paper — Optional: print onto my own handmade sheets for a beautiful, tactile finish.

You’ll leave with your carved lino block and several prints — ready to frame, gift, or continue printing at home.
