Discover Lino Printing – A Hands-On Workshop for Beginners in Peterborough

Ready to roll up your sleeves and try something creative? Our Lino Printing Workshop is the perfect introduction to one of the most accessible and rewarding printmaking techniques available.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or just looking to refresh your skills, this fun and relaxed course will guide you through the process of designing, carving, and printing your own unique lino print artwork.


Learn Step-by-Step in a Supportive Studio Environment

Held at our Peterborough studio, this hands-on workshop is taught by an experienced printmaker in a friendly and supportive setting.

Step by step, you’ll learn how to use essential tools and materials, starting with simple design concepts and moving on to carving your own lino block.


All Materials Provided – Just Bring Your Curiosity

No prior art experience is needed. We provide everything you’ll need for the session, including lino blocks, carving tools, ink, rollers, and high-quality paper.

All you need to bring is your curiosity and a willingness to explore something new. It’s a great way to dive into a tactile, rewarding art form that’s both beginner-friendly and endlessly creative.


Create, Print, and Take Home Your Artwork

Once your design is carved, the real fun begins. Rolling out the ink and pulling your very first print is a magical moment you won’t forget!

At the end of the workshop, you’ll take home your hand-printed artwork and your carved lino block—so you can continue printing at home if the creative spark strikes again.


A Fun, Social Experience for Everyone

Whether you attend solo or bring a friend, this beginner lino printing course offers a relaxed, social atmosphere where creativity flows freely.

Perfect for anyone looking to try something new, create a unique gift, or simply enjoy a few hours of artistic escape.
