Service Description
Linocut Printing for Beginners An introduction to linocut with Helen Maxfield Learn how to design, carve and print your own unique linocut prints Date: Tuesday 21st April 2026 Time: Morning session from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm Price: £54 per person Join us for a relaxing and creative workshop where local artist Helen Maxfield will guide you through the basics of linocut printmaking. Perfect for beginners, this session will cover everything from designing and carving your lino block to hand-printing your own unique artworks. The workshop will cover simple techniques that allow you add multiple colours in a single pass. By the end of the session, you’ll have a set of finished prints to take home and the inspiration to continue your linocut journey. For those looking to continue their practice at home, printing kits and instructional books are available for purchase in the gallery gift shop. Who is the Class for? This workshop is open to everyone, from complete beginners to those who’ve printed with us before. What’s Provided: • Materials & Tools: All tools and materials are supplied, including lino blocks, carving tools, inks and paper. • Refreshments: Enjoy tea, coffee, cakes, and biscuits in good company! What to Bring: Bring along some visual inspiration — such as drawings, sketches, or reference images printed out — to help create your design. (15 x 18 cms max size, if you plan to trace.) Simple, graphic images work best for lino-cutting. We also recommend bringing a box or folder to safely transport your prints home. What to Wear: Wear comfortable, older clothing as the process can get a little messy. An apron is also helpful if you have one. Accessibility: Please note that the workshop is held in our upper gallery, which unfortunately is not accessible for wheelchair users. We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. Booking Information: Spaces are limited, so early booking is highly recommended to secure your place!
