Motherhood Through Linocut: Printmaking Workshops with Isabel Sykes

Join us for a creative exploration of motherhood through the beautiful art of traditional linocut printing! In collaboration with First Foods, a not-for-profit startup providing new mothers with FREE nutritious meal boxes, we invite you to express your experience of motherhood in a supportive and inspiring environment.

Exhibition Opportunity: As part of First Foods launch event on April 4th, 2025, at The Watershed, we would love to exhibit your prints on the wall.
