In this workshop we will cut into a piece of Lino block to create beautiful, 4 x 6 one of a kind stamps. We will first roll ink onto our stamps and then print ten 5 x 6.5 cards with an envelopes to personalize our holiday greetings for friends near and far.

Come spend the day designing, carving and inking your very own original artwork on Lino block. Printmaking is a super fun and super satisfying form of art making. I will supply you with all the tools you need to create lovely, original linocuts.

This workshop will begin with coffee and croissants and books to inspire your original design. You will be provided time and paper to create your unique sketch. Next, you will draw your chosen design onto a 4 x 6 piece of linoleum. Then, you will learn how to carve out the negative space in your piece of linoleum (so satisfying!).

At 12:00 we will take a half hour lunch break. Upon returning, we will finish our carving and then you will learn how to use a brayer to ‘ink’ your linoleum and create your amazing prints on 5 x 6.5 cards. Each person will be provided all supplies, as previously stated, 10 cards with envelopes to customize.

It will be a fantastic way to spend the day! Bring a friend or meet some new ones! Looking forward to sharing this beautiful art form with you! All levels of experience are welcome!
