About the session
In this hands-on creative workshop, you'll learn the art of lino printing, carving your own unique designs inspired by the festive season. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist, our tutor will guide you through the process to produce your own set of handmade bunting, perfect to decorate your home or give as a gift this Christmas.
We'll provide all the materials, including lino blocks, carving tools, inks, and bunting. Printing can get messy; please bring an apron or wear appropriate clothing. No previous experience of printmaking is required. Please be aware that this workshop is intended for adults only (18+) and requires manual dexterity.
