Join me, local artist Chiara Mensa, for a 3-hour evening session of linocut printmaking inspired by fins and feathers! No previous experience is required, making this a great opportunity to try linocut for the first time or dust off your carving tools after a long break in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. The group size will be kept small, with a maximum of 8-10 participants to allow you to interact directly with me and get the most out of the workshop experience. While props and reference books are usually available during the event to inspire you, feel free to bring any personal sketch or reference image you would like to use (— just make sure it fits within a 10.5cm x 14.8cm border) All materials and tools will be provided, along with an apron to protect your clothes. All you need to do is bring yourself, your creativity and the willingness to get your fingers inky! 🙏🏼 Please do take a moment to read the T&C at the end of this page. ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
---This hands-on creative workshop is perfect for beginners who want to get a taster for linocut printmaking. During our three hours together, you will sketch, carve and print your very own linocut print inspired by fish and/or birds, ready to be framed or gifted. At the end of the event, you can take your lino block home to continue practising and printing. What you'll learn and do

— Sketch your design on paper and transfer it onto lino;
— Carve the lino block using different-sized tools;
— Ink up your block with quality oil-based inks;
— Handprint your block on acid-free paper for long-lasting results; What you'll get
— Access to professional-quality premium materials;
— A copy (or two!) of your very own original lino print;
— Your carved lino block, which can be reused to create more prints;
— A chance to ask me any questions you might have about the process or materials and get bespoke advice on your piece;
— A carrier bag and cardboard sleeve to safely take your prints home with you; Sizing & Materials
— A6 linoleum block(10.5cm x 14.8cm) to carve your design.
— A5-sized paper (14.8cm x 21cm) to print on using a single ink colour (different colours available depending on the theme).
These sizes will allow you to finish your piece, make one or two copies of your design, and still have time to pack up at the end of the event. KEY INFO

Loved every aspect of this museum. Firstly, it doesn&#39;t feel like just one museum. There is an actual SS Great Britain exhibition, with so much to learn about the ship, before even stepping foot on it.&nbsp;
