About the Event
Festive Christmas Printmaking: Linocut for Beginners
At this time of year I teach a LOT of printmaking, particularly lino-cutting and for me, it just NEVER gets boring. It's so easy to do, EXTREMELY satisfying and you get such a kick out of the prints you make at the end - there's nothing quite as rewarding as coming up with an idea, finishing off the carving, rolling the ink out and then the BIG REVEAL as you peel it back and see your first print - it's absolutely JOYOUS!
Whether you're doing the workshop to make Christmas Cards, personalised festive tags, (or even wrapping paper) or you just want a super fun Christmas activity to do in the lead up to the big day - this is a pretty wonderful way to spend an afternoon.
So, please do come and join me in my beautiful, working Artist's studio - you'll be with other like-minded people in an inspiring and creative space and on top of that, you'll be getting:
Extremely enthusiastic, experienced tuition and guidance throughout the session, not only in the technique, but I can help you choose a design that will work for you and that you have a lot of fun creating. All materials are provided, I’ll be giving you lots of images to look at for inspiration as well as reference images you can use to create your own designs. You will end the day bursting with printmaking knowledge and a gorgeous selection of prints and cards to take home and give away (or keep for yourself!).
There will be FESTIVE REFRESHMENTS available throughout the Workshop, aprons and even gloves if you'd like to protect your hands from the ink.
Come on your own, bring a chum or you could even come in a group - all are welcome! This course welcomes all levels of adult student (16+, students of 14 or 15 are welcome with an accompanying adult student).
Introduction & settle in: 2.30pm (Please arrive no earlier than 2.30pm)
Class starts: 2.45pm - 6.15pm
Laurel Studio is small (but perfectly formed) which means the amount of students is capped at 6 per class - this may mean that these sessions sell out fairly quickly, please be aware of this when thinking about booking your space 😊
Places are non-refundable and non-transferable.
