I’m so glad you are able to join me for my latest workshop!

This one is about using the insect world to inspire a unique lino print. You pick your favourite slug, bug or insect and I will show you how to turn it into a quirky art piece. You can go for realistic or abstract, or do what I do and create your own bug-like creatures!

Don't worry if your drawing skills aren't up to scratch, I'll help you with finding the right image, developing your design and getting the right composition.

What to expect:

Together we will workshop your design, working on a 9x15cm lino plate.
You will be guided on how to use lino carving tools and printmaking inks to create your own unique design that you will want to frame! The nature of my classes is quite intimate (up to 6 students per class) and I will be teaching and guiding you throughout the class.
You will draw your design and I will show you how to transfer it onto the lino plate.
Most of the class will be spent carving the lino.
We will then print your designs onto paper or card so you have pieces to take home.

My aim is to educate and empower you to create something you will be proud of.

No prior experience necessary, all you will need is enthusiasm and a fun attitude.

BYO refreshments. If you choose to BYO alcohol, please be responsible and limit your consumption to 2 drinks as we are using sharp lino cutting tools and you will likely be driving home. The focus is on the art.

Please arrive at 3:15pm and we will start the class by 3:30pm. We aim to finish the class by 6:30pm.

Getting there:

Stackwood is located on the corner of Stack and Wood Streets, Fremantle (White Gum Valley). Please park in the main carpark if there is room, or on the street. From the carpark, walk down the left side of the building and access via the side door.

This class is for 18+ students only.
