Christmas Lino Cutting Workshop: Fiona Edmondson

Fiona will be introducing safe lino cutting and printing techniques, guiding you through the process to create a design on a festive theme, producing your own print suitable for greetings cards, gift tags and wrapping. The cost of the activity will include a lino cutter with a selection of blades and 2 lino tiles so that you will be able to continue to explore this exciting technique. Inks, rollers, paper and bench hooks will be provided.

This activity is suitable for beginners and those who may also have some experience with lino printing.

Fiona Edmondson is an experienced printmaker and Artist Educator. Originally studying Fine Art painting, she has for many years been fascinated by the qualities and variety of printmaking processes, including etching, Gelli, Lino and collograph printing in her current work.
