Join this lino cutting class in Bollington and discover the incredible satisfaction of the 'peel and reveal' as you pull your very first print. You'll learn the essential foundations of this classic craft, from planning a striking image and safely cutting your lino block to using a professional printing press to bring your designs to life.
There's no need to be a seasoned artist to create bold and beautiful work. Whether you're inspired by botanical shapes, local landscapes, or even your favourite pets, you'll find plenty of subjects that work perfectly with this hands-on technique. It's a fantastic way to switch off and get creative with your favourite people, as the studio is a warm and welcoming space where everyone from age six and up can feel right at home.
The workshop is hosted at Hope Press, a bright and fully equipped studio located in the historic Adelphi Mill. You'll have access to high-end equipment, including etching presses, and can enjoy a cup of tea or quality coffee whenever you need a breather.
