Linocut Christmas Cards

Create a simple linocut design to print onto a small edition of Christmas cards. You can then take your design away to print at home on more cards, wrapping paper or whatever else you fancy!! No experience or equipment necessary. All tools and materials provided. Some design ideas will be provided, but please feel free to bring along images, sketches or thoughts to work from.

This workshop is part of our weekend-long Christmas Makes extravaganza, with 17 workshops running over the course of three days. Come make Christmas decorations, cards and gifts in our festive workshop spaces. There will be refreshments available throughout the day, a roaring fire pit and plenty of nosy animals to visit in between workshops.
