Introduction to Lino printing - Sat 15th Feb

People are loving our introduction to printmaking classes held once a month.

In this three-hour workshop, students will learn the fundamental skills needed to create a single colour lino print. Through expert instruction and hands-on practice, participants will learn how to handle carving tools safely and gain an understanding of the linocut process, while learning how to use a printing press. 

Whether you are a beginner or looking to brush up on your printmaking skills, this class offers one-to-one tuition in a small group setting. 

Tutor Cecilia Jacobs is a visual artist specialising in printmaking. Cecilia's process-based prints navigate a space between nature and abstraction, as she uses printmaking as a vital tool for her practice.
