We will provide all the materials for the day including a lino block, tools for cutting, ink and paper.
What to bring with you
Clothes that you don’t mind getting ink on. Although we will be using water based inks and we have aprons, it’s best to wear clothes that are not precious.
Ideas - Please bring with you an image or art work you would like to use as inspiration or to transfer to your lino block. The size of the blocks we will be using will be approx 10 x 15cm. If you don’t bring an idea or inspiration for your print don’t worry because we have lots of inspirational books and ideas we use as tools for developing an image. But as we have a lot to fit in on the day, it can help to bring along a pre conceived image to make into a print.
Feel free to bring snacks! Tea and coffee provided.
