Introduction to Lino - Valentines Cards

Come and create some handcrafted Valentines cards for your loved ones in our beautiful Victorian Fire Station studio. In this workshop you will learn the beautiful printmaking technique of linocut from two Royal College of Art trained printmakers.

We welcome all skill levels. We will guide you from start to finish, from carving to printing, allowing you to leave with a collection of your own bespoke Valentines cards, as well as the skills to continue to explore this craft.

Alongside the workshop you will be provided with a selection of complimentary snacks and beverages.

Studio Notes:

- Please arrive on time and wrapped up warm – our studio, whilst lovely, is an old Victorian building and though we will have heaters it still gets very cold in the wintertime.

- Make sure any clothes you are wearing you are happy to get messy in – we do have aprons, but printmaking is unpredictable at times.

- You do not need to bring any materials as they will all be provided to you.

Parking:

Free parking is available outside the Fire Station; however, it is limited. There is plenty of street parking down Park Road which is free on weekends or after 6pm on weekdays.
