Step away from the Christmas rush and spend a creative day at the Botanical Gardens learning the art of lino printing.Surrounded by the beauty of the gardens in winter, you’ll gather inspiration from seasonal plants, berries and foliage before carving and printing your own festive design. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a set of ten hand-printed Christmas cards ready to share with loved ones.
Whether you’re looking to learn a new skill, enjoy a mindful creative experience or make something special for Christmas, this workshop offers the perfect opportunity to create thoughtful, handmade greetings inspired by nature.
