Celebrate the beauty of autumn in this two-day printmaking workshop inspired by the colours and textures of the season. Begin by exploring the Garden to sketch and photograph autumnal scenes, gathering inspiration for your own linocut design. Guided by the tutor, you’ll plan, carve, and print a three-layer reduction linocut, capturing the rich tones of your chosen scene. Materials and some tools will be available to use, but you will need to bring your own set of lino cutting tools, as well as a box or folder to take away your prints.

The course is suitable for beginners as well as those with some experience of linocut techniques. Fine motor skills are required, along with the ability to safely use a lino tool and craft knife to cut lino.
