2 Hour Festive Card Workshop

Workshop description

Linocut is an incredibly versatile medium, perfect for creating stamps and quick line drawing designs. You will be introduced to the basics of linocut printmaking, create and carve your own design and print several unique festive cards to take away with you. What to expect: You will be guided through the process of transferring a design to lino, carving and then printing it. There will be some ready-carved festive lino shapes available for all to use which you may like to incorporate into your design. We will be printing by hand burnishing and there will be one small relief press available to share. All inks, lino, cards and other equipment is provided. You will leave with several cards and any lino shapes you have carved yourself. What to bring: An apron or old shirt is useful to protect clothes as we will be using oil-based inks but not essential. The session will be held in the studio on level 1. There is a café downstairs which opens at 10am providing a selection of hot and cold lunch options as well as drinks and pastries. Purchasing a workshop gives you access to all the exhibitions at no extra charge so make sure to allow time for a browse around this wonderful gallery. This workshop is suitable for over 18’s.
