Julie is a trained teacher of art and design graduating from Goldsmith College London. She is DBS checked to work with young people and adults.
The aim of the day is to provide a fun, relaxed, friendly session where you will learn a new skill and have something to feel proud enough to take it home and frame. You will have the opportunity to create your own individual lino cut artwork.
You will produce a one colour lino print measuring 20 x 15cm. Printed on an assortment of papers. All materials are included in the price.
We cut the lino in the morning and then spend the afternoon printing. The aim of the course is that you will take home new skills that you can continue at home with the minimum of equipment.
Please wear clothes that you don't mind getting messy, or an apron.
