Lino Printmaking Workshop for Beginners £55
The perfect starting point for anyone new to printmaking.
Learn how to design, carve and hand-print your own lino block using traditional tools and techniques. You’ll discover how to safely carve lino, create strong black-and-white designs and produce a series of beautiful original prints to take home.
Ideal for complete beginners.
Jigsaw Lino Printing £55
Create colourful prints from a single lino block.
Instead of carving several blocks, you’ll cut your lino into interlocking pieces (like a jigsaw puzzle), ink each section with different colours and reassemble them before printing.
This technique is an enjoyable introduction to multi-colour printing while using just one block.
Multi-Block Lino Printing £95
Take your lino printing further by creating layered, colourful artwork in this multi-block lino printmaking workshop.
You’ll carve separate lino blocks for each colour in your design before carefully registering and printing each layer. This method allows for vibrant, complex images with crisp colour separation.
Perfect for those wanting to explore traditional colour printmaking.
Reduction Lino Printing £55
Discover the exciting “suicide print” technique.
Using a single lino block, you’ll progressively carve away more of the image between each colour layer. As each stage is printed, the block is reduced until the final detailed image is revealed.
A fascinating process that rewards careful planning and produces striking limited-edition prints.
Drypoint Printing £55
Experience one of the simplest forms of intaglio printmaking.
Create expressive images by scratching directly into a plastic printing plate using specialist tools. Ink is worked into the engraved lines before being printed through a press to produce beautifully rich, textured prints with distinctive soft edges.
Ideal for drawing enthusiasts and beginners alike.
Tetra Pak Printing £55
Turn everyday recycling into beautiful artwork.
Learn how to transform used Tetra Pak cartons into printing plates by engraving and embossing the surface before inking and printing.
This environmentally friendly printmaking process creates delicate line work and wonderful textures while giving new life to recycled materials.
