With Bianca Garcia.
Book a place on our Lino Printmaking Workshop where you can create your own Lino stamp and print your own design.
21st February 2025, 9.30am – 3pm. £30 pp (£10 non-refundable deposit to secure space)
Whether you are a beginner or someone who has dabbled in printmaking before and wants a refresher. Using traditional Lino cutting techniques, you will learn how to create your own Lino printing block. You will keep the Lino block for many more prints you may want to make at home.
Although it is not necessary, do feel free to bring with you some ideas and inspiration for your block stamp. Simple large block designs and silhouette shapes work best for this type of printmaking. However, examples and ideas are also provided in the workshop. You will leave the workshop with a set of Lino blocks and prints.
There will be an additional cost of around £15 for a Linocut Taster Kit that will need to be purchased prior to attending the workshop, details and links are below:

Learners will also need to bring along an apron or old clothes.
