Workshops & Classes

Linocut Workshop

Come and spend two hours with the fabulous Holly who will guide you through carving and printing Soft Cut Lino upstairs at Red Lion Books. Holly will bring a couple of design inspirations, but of course feel free to bring your own idea. Due to the time frame, keep it simple. We want to ensure you have time to carve AND print, You will begin by popping your design onto Lino, and spending time carving before you get to print the design on greeting cards! There will be two colour options for printing (to be confirmed on the day).
