Learn linocut & create winter-inspired prints, from Christmas cards to wall art.
About this Event

Come and get creative with us this season as we dive into the timeless craft of linocut printing. Perfect for beginners, this workshop will guide you through the basics of carving and printing, with a festive twist.

We’ll take inspiration from the magic of winter – think frosty landscapes, twinkling trees, and Christmas motifs – to create your own hand-printed designs. Whether you’d like to make a stack of personalised Christmas cards, gift tags, or a special print to hang on the wall, you’ll leave with something truly one-of-a-kind.

You’ll learn:

  • How to safely use linocut tools and carve your first block.
  • Tips for turning simple sketches into bold, striking prints.
  • How to ink up and print your design by hand.

All materials are provided. No prior experience needed – just bring your ideas (and maybe a favourite winter doodle or two).

Take a little time out of the Christmas rush, slow down, and make something beautiful with your own hands.

This session is delivered by Zoe from Mustard and Gray, the creative force behind the Shropshire studio. Zoe’s work is inspired by the landscapes and rhythms of the natural world, with a playful design-led approach that brings personality to every piece.

With years of experience in printmaking, teaching, illustration and contemporary craft, Zoe is passionate about making creativity accessible to everyone. Her workshops are relaxed, welcoming spaces where you can try something new, enjoy the process, and leave with skills (and artwork) to be proud of.

Expect plenty of encouragement, down-to-earth tips, and a good dose of Mustard and Gray’s signature style – and always a little bit fun.
