Linocut Workshop for Beginners

Step outside your comfort zone and try something a little unexpected—the lesser-known, quietly magical art of printmaking. Step outside your comfort zone and try something a little unexpected—the lesser-known, quietly magical art of printmaking. This beginner-friendly workshop invites you to slow down, get your hands dirty, and experience the tactile process of relief printing. You’ll be introduced to linoleum cutting as you learn how to design, carve, ink, and print your very own linocut. Using traditional carving tools, you’ll transform a simple linoleum block into a printable image, roll it with black ink, and print by hand—embracing the beauty of imperfections along the way. Design options will be provided, but you’re encouraged to bring your own simple image to carve (approximately 5" x 7"). Each participant will leave with a finished edition of 5 prints and their hand-carved linoleum block to keep and reuse for future projects. No experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to try something new.
