In this intensive six-hour workshop, tutor Ceclia Jacobs will take your lino cutting skills to the next level by introducing techniques such as chin-colle and shaped blocks.

Students will experiment with a variety of Japanese papers and learn about colour theory while producing a beautiful concertina artist book that tells a story through printmaking. This workshop is designed for a small group setting and participants will need some prior experience in linocut. Includes a lunch break.

You can join Cecilia once a month at our ‘*Saturday social print club’ so you can continue to use our printing press with fellow printmakers and exchange ideas.
