Make it with Marmalade Linocut Christmas Cards Course

Turn choosing Christmas cards into a treat not a chore this year by learning how to make your own cards in the marmalade Print Studio in Soham, Ely. A handmade card will be kept and appreciated long after Christmas and makes a unique gift in our mass produced, digital age. In just three consecutive Saturday mornings you will learn how to linocut in single and multiple colours and how to develop eye-catching and original designs. By the end of the course, you will have an edition of 10 unique seasonal cards to keep, sell or send to your friends in time for Christmas and will have learnt a new creative skill. We provide you with all the materials you need, along with homemade seasonal refreshments, so you don’t need to bring anything with you, unless you have special dietary requirements. Workshops at marmalade are sociable, relaxed and friendly and young people over 16 years are very welcome, if they can bring a well-behaved adult with them. This course is suitable for beginners and is a great way to ease yourself gently, and creatively, into the festive season ahead. Here’s what one of our students John said about this course “The linocut Christmas card course was really interesting, and I enjoyed learning how to experiment with the technique and making my own designs. I am very proud of the work I produced from it.” Getting to Marmalade Marmalade Print Studio is easy to find.
