Immerse yourself in the wonderful world of linocut printmaking with this six-part course at the Stanton Guildhouse, a Grade II-listed manor house just south of Broadway in the Cotswolds.
With limited spaces you’ll receive plenty of one-to-one guidance as you learn a variety of techniques over the six sessions, giving you the skills and confidence to carry on creating beautiful prints at home.
Perfect for beginners or those looking to refresh their skills, we’ll start with the basics of carving, inking up and printing, before proceeding to exploring light and shade and texture, working towards an understanding of what makes a good linocut design.
There will be plenty of scope for experimentation if you wish, and the final two sessions of the course will see us creating multi-layer, multi-colour prints using just one block of lino (the ‘reduction’ technique).
Cost: £250 per person, includes all equipment and materials.
Venue: The Stanton Guildhouse, Stanton, Broadway, Worcestershire WR12 7NE
When: 10.30am-1pm, Thursday 12th November-Thursday 17th December

Cancellations
Unfortunately I can’t issue a refund or transfer you to another class should you have to cancel or cannot attend one of your sessions. As a small business the loss of income and additional work involved have too great an impact. Thank you for your understanding.
What previous workshop participants have said:
“I attended this workshop with a friend and we really enjoyed it. Sally was helpful and patient and the workshop and advice enabled me to order my own linocutting tools and start creating at home. Highly recommend!”
“Sally is a fantastic teacher, clear with her instructions and fantastically supportive when you feel like you need someone to hold your hand!”
“The workshop really has given me more confidence, and I’m excited for more printmaking!”
