INTRO to LINOCUT / BLOCK PRINTING

Step into the creative process and bring your ideas to life through printmaking. In this hands-on linocut workshop, you’ll learn how to move from an initial sketch to a finished print while building confidence, intuition, and trust in your creative voice. Whether you’re new to printmaking or returning to refine your skills, this class offers a supportive space to explore, experiment, and create.

🎨 WHAT YOU'LL CREATE:

Design, carve, and print a unique linocut design from start to finish. You’ll leave with 1–3 finished prints, plus your carved block to continue printing at home. This class focuses on the full creative journey—from idea to final pull—rather than perfection.

✨ PERFECT FOR:

Beginners and returning students alike! No previous experience needed. This class is ideal for anyone wanting to:

Build confidence in their creative process
