Beginners lino printing taster workshop

Description

On this lino printing taster workshop with Edinburgh artist Suzanne Kemplay, you will explore quick ways of creating simple images of flowers or patterns.

Suzanne will provide pre-made templates to speed up the design process, so that you can quickly move on to practice printing, and to learning the different techniques you can use to produce striking images.

This is a hands-on, practical and fun workshop where you will learn the basic skills of lino cutting and printing, and gain the confidence you need to create beautiful prints at home without the need for expensive equipment. 

All the equipment and materials you will need are provided. You will take home all the prints you make, and your lino cut design so you can continue practising at home.

Should you prefer to create your own design for lino printing, please check out Suzanne's full-day introductory workshop to printing onto paper here. Or her Introduction to lino printing onto fabric full day workshop here.
