In this class, we will experiment with the process of Lino printing. During this workshop, you will get a chance to create a series of prints using different layers of colour. Focus is placed on creating from a place of flow, play, enjoyment and relaxation. No experience in art making or printmaking is required. All materials and full guidance throughout the class are provided. Please bring an apron or old clothes as ink may stain clothes.

Class 22nd November 11:00 – 12:30 pm

During this workshop, we will create a series of cards through mindful colouring and collage. Participants will experience the joy of working mindfully with colour. This introduces the idea of creating from a place of flow, play, enjoyment and relaxation.
