Wild Prints: Nature in Linocut | Cooran

OUR LOCAL LANDSCAPES
Join local printmaker Megan Ruby Lee for an inspiring hands-on introduction to linocut printmaking, celebrating the rich beauty and intricate detail of the natural world at the Cooran Hall (Cooran Memorial School of Arts).

This beginner-friendly workshop will focus on natural features of our local landscapes as a beautiful starting point for your designs. From our mountains, plains, the oceans and forests, your unique lino print may feature native flora, your favourite wildlife or landscape features. This is your expression of your connection to place.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, Megan will guide you through:

• Observing and sketching natural forms, and translating textures and patterns into linocut designs

• Learning the fundamentals of linocut printmaking - from carving and inking to hand-printing using a variety of papers and tools

• Creating your own unique, nature-inspired prints to take home - ready to frame or gift

You’ll also leave with your carved lino block, so you can continue printing beyond the workshop, along with the prints you create during the session.

Whether you're completely new to printmaking or looking to deepen your creative connection with nature, this workshop offers a relaxed and supportive space to slow down, learn new skills, and engage with the beauty of the local environment.
