Led by printmaker, Natasha Davis, join a friendly introduction to the art of linocut printmaking, held in the calm and welcoming surroundings of the The Village Hub.

Linocut printmaking is a form of relief printing, where you carve away portions of the block to bring your design to life. In this workshop, you'll learn how to transfer your designs onto a lino block, carve your block safely, roll the ink ink and print your creations. During the session, you'll work on two projects: a mark-making block to get you started, and a 10cm x 15cm block to refine your skills.

What you'll take home

Your two lino blocks, plus multiple printed copies of each design, perfect to keep or give as gifts.

What's included

All printmaking equipment, plus tea and coffee to keep you going.

What to wear

Printmaking can get inky! Please bring an apron or wear clothes you don't mind getting messy.

This workshop is designed for adults, but students aged 16+ are welcome to join, provided they are accompanied by an adult.
