About this Event
Join printmaker Michelle Hughes for a special evening celebrating the launch of her new book, Birds and Wildlife in Linocut, and her upcoming 10-year anniversary in business.
Published in February 2026, Michelle’s beautifully illustrated book shares how to design, carve and print birds and wildlife using traditional linocut techniques.
It guides readers from simple one-colour prints through to more advanced multi-colour methods, including jigsaw, reduction and multi-block printing.
Whether you are completely new to linocut or already exploring printmaking, the book offers clear step-by-step guidance, practical tips and creative inspiration for
capturing birds and wildlife in this rewarding craft.
