This hands-on workshop introduces the basics of lino cut printmaking, from carving a simple design to inking and printing your own artwork. Participants will be guided through the process step by step and will leave with their own prints, perfect as small artworks or gifts.

The session runs for three hours and includes demonstrations, supported making time, and space to experiment.

Open to beginners and anyone curious about printmaking — no prior experience needed. Suitable for ages 14+.
