Add a personal touch to your Christmas gifts this year with a festive evening of linocut printmaking. Join artist and printmaker Jess Van Baalen and learn how to design, carve and print your own handmade Christmas gift tags. Whether you're completely new to printmaking or looking for a seasonal creative activity, this workshop offers a fun and accessible introduction to the art of lino printing.
As part of our Christmas Gift Series, you'll be guided through the basics of lino cutting before creating a collection of unique tags ready to accompany your presents. Inspired by Jess's love of nature, folklore and storytelling, you'll explore traditional printmaking techniques in a friendly, supportive environment, with plenty of help along the way.
All materials are provided, and you'll leave with your own carved lino block, a selection of handmade gift tags, and the skills to continue printing at home. A perfect workshop for anyone who loves making, gifting and adding a little creativity to the festive season. Places are limited, so early booking is recommended.
