Christmas Lino Printing for Beginners: Tuesday 17th November 6:30pm

Make something personal this Christmas with our beginner-friendly reduction lino printing course. Across four relaxed, creative sessions, you’ll turn a festive design into a small collection of original, multicoloured prints—perfect for framing, giving as gifts or turning into special Christmas cards.

Take inspiration from winter foliage, woodland wildlife, festive decorations or snowy landscapes as you discover how to build an image in layers of colour using a single lino block. With step-by-step guidance, you’ll develop your design, transfer it onto lino and learn to carve safely, creating bold shapes, delicate details and expressive textures.

You’ll explore how to roll out ink evenly, print by hand and line up your paper so each new colour sits in place. After printing each layer, you’ll carve away more of the block before adding the next colour, gradually revealing your finished three-colour design. This is the magic of reduction printing: as the block changes, you create a small, limited edition that captures each stage of the process.

No previous printmaking experience or confident drawing skills are needed. Simple festive shapes can make beautiful prints, and you’ll have guidance throughout, with time to experiment, ask questions and enjoy making something by hand.

By the end of the course, you’ll have worked towards a small edition of festive prints, ready to share once dry, alongside practical skills you can return to long after Christmas.

Enjoy eight hours of guided creativity and the pleasure of giving something you’ve designed, carved and printed yourself.
