A relaxed intro to lino printing inspired by the Shropshire landscape. Learn carving, inking and printing.

Come and get creative with us as we dive into the timeless craft of linocut printing.

Perfect for beginners, this hands-on workshop will guide you through the basics of carving and printing as we take inspiration from the rolling hills, winding rivers, and ever-changing skies of Shropshire.

You’ll design and carve your own lino block, then print your unique landscape artwork by hand — a piece full of texture, character, and your own creative touch.

You’ll learn:

How to safely use linocut tools and carve your first block

Tips for turning simple sketches into bold, striking prints

How to ink up and print your design by hand

All materials are provided. No experience needed — just bring your ideas and a love of the landscape.

Take a little time out, slow down, and make something beautiful inspired by Shropshire’s natural rhythms.

This session is delivered by Zoe from Mustard and Gray, the creative force behind the Shropshire studio. Zoe’s work is inspired by the landscapes and rhythms of the natural world, with a playful design-led approach that brings personality to every piece.

With years of experience in printmaking, teaching, illustration and contemporary craft, Zoe is passionate about making creativity accessible to everyone. Her workshops are relaxed, welcoming spaces where you can try something new, enjoy the process, and leave with skills (and artwork) to be proud of.

Expect plenty of encouragement, down-to-earth tips, and a good dose of Mustard and Gray’s signature style – and always a little bit fun.
