Saturday Morning Make it with Marmalade ‘Discover Linocutting’ Sessions

Discover Linocutting Saturday Workshop Sessions These Saturday morning sessions, held in our garden studio at Marmalade, are relaxed, sociable and busy. They are available every Saturday morning, 10 am to 1pm, from the 3rd to 31st of October.

Discover Linocutting is the perfect introductory workshop for anyone who has ever wanted to have a go at the magical artform of printmaking. It is suitable for beginners as we take you through the process and provide you with plenty of one-to-one tuition, so that you can work confidently at your own pace. Anyone who has done some printmaking before will also enjoy this workshop. You will spend the morning learning about the printmaking method of linocutting, how to use our tools and equipment safely and how to create your own black and white and coloured linocut prints to take home.

All materials are provided at our workshops, along with tea, coffee and homemade light refreshments, so you don’t need to bring anything with you. Young people over 16 years old are very welcome if they bring an adult with them. Please note, that although our inks are washable and we have aprons in the studio, we don’t recommend wearing your best clothes when you visit us, as printmaking can be a bit messy! Here’s what Pauline, one of our printmaking students has said about printmaking with us “I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful printmaking course. It has been fantastic to learn the beginnings of a new process and I know that I would love to learn more. The venue, the people and the teaching all made for a really special experience for me.”
