Please note that you need to pay in advance so that we can hold your place, and unfortunately fees cannot be refunded.

Course 2: Lino printing induction
If you want to refresh your skills at cutting and printing lino prints, or a new learner who wants to experiment then this course is for you. We will practice printing blocks and also practice carving our own designs and printing on paper and fabric using the pooky desktop press.

This is a one week, one session course.

This will be a fun time of experimenting and learning the basics of printmaking. This course will be required for beginners members before they can use the press unsupervised during drop in days.

Course 3: Lino printing drop in
If you are an experience printer or have done the induction course we will be hosting drop in print sessions on the third Thursday evening of each month where you can use the press and share your knowledge/learn from others interested in printmaking.

Check the course calendar. Drop in sessions are for shed members only. No cost except for materials used. Dates are TBC so do send us a message to check in on dates.

If you haven’t printed before then you’ll need to do the Lino induction course before doing drop in
