Linocut for Beginners

Really loved and appreciated the relaxed and supportive atmosphere of this workshop. A perfect antidote to a busy life. I didn’t do a bad job either with my lino print! Thank you Heather x

One-to-One Lino Print

Start your day with a morning creative reset - colour, creativity, and the quiet focus of printmaking.

In this relaxed two-hour one-to-one Lino printing workshop, you’ll learn how to design, carve, and print your own Lino block inspired by nature, colour, and pattern. Whether you choose a vibrant floral, an inspiring landscape, or a playful fabric pattern, I’ll guide you through each step so you can enjoy the rhythm of carving and the moment your print appears on paper.

Lino printing is wonderfully absorbing. The tactile process encourages you to focus on the present moment while experimenting with colour and design. Many people find it a refreshing way to step away from busy schedules and screen-based work for a while.

No previous experience is needed. This workshop is designed to be both creative and restorative, giving you the chance to learn a new skill while making something beautiful.

During the session you will:

• develop a simple design for your print
• learn safe and effective lino carving techniques
• explore inking and hand-printing methods
• create a small set of your own prints to take home

Themes you can choose from

• Inspiring landscapes
• Colourful florals
• Patterns on fabric

You are also very welcome to bring your own theme or idea.

What’s included

All materials are provided, including Lino, carving tools, inks, and high-quality papers. Refreshments are included so you can relax and enjoy the morning.

By the end of the workshop you will have created your own Lino block and a small collection of prints to take home.

  • I had a fantastic morning with Heather at a 1:1 lino printmaking workshop. She really clearly explained the tools and processes and I couldn't believe how much we accomplished in a couple of hours. I'm so pleased with the print I made - she showed me some interesting ways to play with colour and texture. I would absolutely love to go back and do more with Heather and would highly recommend both her workshops and her beautiful work.

  • A really nostalgic night, throwing me back to my childhood using Lino cut printing to make some unique art. A great way to de-stress and relax while learning something new. Great to take away your pieces too. Thank you Heather and to my hubby for a fab birthday present.
