Intro to linocut printmaking

Intro to linocut printmaking acontece a 17 de outubro de 2026, Stampalofi, em Leith.

Welcome to Intro to linocut printmaking! Come along to Stampalofi for a hands-on workshop where you'll learn the art of linocut printmaking. In this event, you'll discover the basics of carving your design into linoleum blocks and creating your first beautiful prints. No experience is necessary, just bring your creativity and enthusiasm! The workshop will start with an introduction to the materials and straight away get inky as we will need the first layers to dry while we get carving. The next step is a practice block with some simple exercises to make carving the final design so much easier and you more confident you will make something you like. We have the opportunity to have a break or to keep at it if you are being swept away with the process (this can definitely happen as it is quite addictive!). After the break the rest of the session is spent working on your personal project and finishing up by printing more independently (but always with a guiding hand if needed). At the end of this workshop, each participant will have their own print run of lino printed art, and a carved lino block that they can take home to continue their creative journey. Participants will leave with the knowledge and skills necessary for personal projects. Participants are also invited to remain in the Stampa Lofi studio after the workshop end to make any amendments to their block. The workshop is most fun (and to make it as cheap as possible) in groups. Therefore if there are only a couple of participants I will ask you kindly if it is possible to be flexible on dates and join another group if necessary. Thank you so much for understanding!
