Linoprint Workshop at The Carousel Nottingham 27th November 16:00 - 20:00

Enjoy an evening of relaxed designing and Linoprinting with artist & designer Marcus Gilmore at Nottingham's Carousel located on 25 Hockley, Nottingham NG1 1FH.

This workshop class is designed to introduce you to the medium of linoprinting in a more relaxed setting. We will be working off long-tables that will provide plenty of space for this workshop, and any questions you are welcome to ask!

To start we will begin with sketching your chosen designs, and using carbon paper to transfer your designs onto the lino plates prior to carving. You will have the opportunity to print with a variety of water based inks + paints, and hand-made types of paper to create unique and striking prints. All equipment including lino plates, carving tools and ink will be provided. Participants of all abilities are welcome and no previous experience is required.

Price is £45.00 per ticket. We look forward to having you and excited to see what you design! I'll provide a lot of example designs to get you started, if you are struggling to come up with an initial idea or concept. I always recommend it's a great idea to depict a beloved pet or animal as a linoprint, it is a great way to honour them as a one-off bespoke print :D

Here are some benefits to attending and having a go with linoprinting & attending a class like this :

• Problem solving using a hands-on creative medium
• Helps lower stress + learning a new craft
• It's quite meditative! Especially with carving
• You can show off your unique hand-printed art works!
• Improves concentration, eye co-ordination and hand dexterity
• Also really fun to do
• Crafting with others is a great way to meet new people with similiar interests

At the end of the class you'll leave with an array of hand-printed designs made by you! And perhaps discover a love for print-making.

We will be working out of the ground floor room area with long tables and access to a sink + drinks.
