Suitable for all levels, including complete beginners - no experience in printing or art necessary! Come and join us for this low pressure, sociable and fun workshop. 

Get the chance to not only learn how to make linocut prints, but also try out the Xcut Xpress, a very affordable die-cutting machine that can be easily converted into a printing press - it's been making big waves in home printmaking!

For those who have already attended our Beginners Lino workshop, feel free to start drawing your design when you arrive or bring designs with you, to allow more time to work on extra details with 1:1 support from artist Reanna Keer-Keer. 

You will be making your own single colour relief prints using linoleum. Linocut, a derivative of woodcut, is a printmaking process in which images are carved from a piece of lino (think kitchen floor tiles). Once the image has been carved into the lino, it is coated with ink from a roller and pressed onto paper to create images, in this case using an adapted printing press. There will also be opportunities to try hand printing. This is a printing process you can easily continue at home. 

You will create a print based on either a simple image you bring with you (think plants, birds, buildings for easy inspiration) or we can help you find a design to use on the night. 

All materials are provided and you will be able to take home 3-4 prints of your image along with your carved lino which you can re use for more prints. The size of the lino used is 100x150mm.
