Lino Cut (Print Making) Workshop (Port Hope)
Thursday, December 10 | 6:00–8:30 PM
Location: Gooseberry Studios | Port Hope, Ontario
Create your own handmade prints in this fun and creative Lino Cut Printmaking Workshop!
Learn the basics of lino cut printmaking and design your very own prints. You’ll carve one lino block, then use it to create as many prints as you like during the workshop — perfect for turning into unique, handmade holiday cards for friends and family.
Never tried lino cutting before? No problem! We’ll walk you through the process from designing and carving your block to inking and printing. Templates will be provided for anyone who would like a little inspiration or an easier starting point, or you can create your own original design.
Feeling festive? You can choose a holiday-inspired template (from our offerings) and print multiple holiday cards.
Once you’ve finished printing, you’ll take your lino block home with you, so you can continue making prints whenever you like!
This is a great workshop for anyone looking to try something new, get into the holiday spirit, and create something personal and handmade this season.
