Get festive and creative with our evening workshop where you’ll design, carve, and print your very own set of unique Christmas cards.

A cosy evening of festive printmaking at Mustard & Gray Studio, Condover, Shropshire.

Fancy making your Christmas cards a little more personal this year?

Join us in our lovely countryside studio for a relaxed and creative evening learning how to design, carve and print your very own Christmas cards using traditional linocut techniques.

Whether you're completely new to linocut or have tried it before, this workshop is a wonderful opportunity to slow down, get creative and enjoy a little festive making.

We'll guide you through the whole process, from sketching out your Christmas-inspired design and transferring it onto lino, to safely carving your block, inking it up and printing your cards.

Think Christmas trees, stars, winter wildlife, festive foliage or something completely your own!

You'll have plenty of time to experiment with your design and print a lovely selection of handmade cards to take home, ready to send to friends and family.
