Introduction to Lino Cutting

Duration: One-day workshop
Dates: Sun 24 May 2026 10:30 - 17:30
Location: Print Studio

This class is perfect for total beginners, catering for people who would like to learn the basic stages of lino cutting. 

Use specialist tools to create intricate hand-carved blocks, which are then printed on a vintage press. Learn how to make a monotone lino cut print, from using cutting tools to transfer your design onto a lino block to using oil-based inks to print with.

At the end of the course you should have completed some lino prints to take home (or collect from the Print Studio at a later date).

Fantastic Day. Really enjoyable and great support throughout.

Brilliant course -- Superb tutor. Everyone gelled. Everything was clearly explained and assistance was freely given.
