3.5 hour Winter or Christmas Card Linocut Workshop at the Grain Store Studio, near Faversham, Kent on Saturday 23rd November 2024 10am to 1.30pm.
10 places available. Beginners or those with experience welcome!
Yellow Rose Crafts at the Grain Store Studio is tucked away amongst ancient farmland near Faversham, Kent. It is surrounded by beautiful Kentish countryside.
The workshop will take place in the Yellow Rose Crafts space, a converted barn with heating. The barn’s front opens out to views of hop fields. The space is used for a variety of crafts including pottery, corn dolly making, basket weaving, and now linoprinting!
The workshop will take you through the stages of designing, carving and hand printing a postcard-sized 10 x 15cm linocut. We will be using black ink and printing on white or a range of coloured papers. You will work with eco-friendly materials to create your own linoprints. You will take home your carved linocut block, the linoprints created from your block, 5 blank greeting cards and envelopes and self adhesive mounts to attach your linoprints to your cards, plus a worksheet which will give you top tips on materials to continue linoprinting at home.
Appropriate for 14 year+. Anyone under 18 years must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who has also booked a place on the workshop.
I have delivered linocut workshops for Kent Wildlife Trust, Medway and Swale Estuary Partnership, The Beaney Museum in Canterbury, Wildwood Trust, and Animate Arts Company.
Tea, coffee and festive snacks will be provided. Please let me know if you have any dietary requirements.
