3-Week Lino Cutting & Printmaking Course Starting Monday 21st September 2026

Discover the joy of lino cutting in this relaxed, hands-on three-week course designed for beginners and those looking to build their printmaking skills. Over three sessions at Iris and Dora, you’ll learn essential carving and printing techniques, explore creative mark making, and produce a series of beautiful prints to take home. 

Week 1 – Single-Colour Lino Print (Mark Making & Fundamentals) We begin with the basics: how to design, safely carve, and print a simple one-colour lino block. You’ll experiment with different tools and mark-making techniques to create texture, contrast, and expressive lines in your design. By the end of the session, you’ll produce your first printed edition.

Week 2 – Two-Piece, Two-Colour Print Building on the first week, you’ll design and carve a two-piece lino block that fits together to create a bold, layered two-colour print. This session focuses on planning colour combinations, and achieving clean, crisp multi-colour prints. 

Week 3 -  Simple Reduction Print In the final weeks, you’ll dive into the magic of reduction printing—using a single block, carved in stages, to build up multiple colours in one artwork. You’ll learn how to plan your image, how to register your prints, print each layer in sequence, and create a small edition of reduction prints with depth and character.

By the end of the course, you’ll have gained confidence in design, carving, and printmaking techniques—and created a collection of original lino prints showcasing your new skills. Each guest will receive a free frame to take home to display their new masterpiece. 

This workshop takes place at our studio on Ruette Braye over three weeks, starting Monday 21st September, 6-8:30pm Please note, we require a minimum number of participants for the class to go ahead and reserve the right to reschedule.
