Linocut is a printmaking technique, using a sheet of linoleum or other material, and cutting a relief design into the surface, with a sharp knife or small, shaped chiselling tools. The sheet is is then inked with a roller, called a brayer, and impressed onto paper, card or fabric, either by hand or with a printing press.

What to bring
We invite you to bring something to sip - alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages of choice - to enjoy during the class, while the fun happens
Bring anything to eat that takes your fancy – cheese, dips, baked goods or sweets
Chocolate fountains are always fun!
What to wear
We are going for comfort here! Anything white, made of silk, of sentimental value, or extremely expensive is not the best option at our studio.
Ink splatter happens. Once ink is on your clothes, it really likes to stay there!
It's nice to show up 30 minutes early
Most makers show up early, to get their food and drinks set up and enjoy a bit of down time with friends and new acquaintances before the workshop officially begins.
We will start right on time!
