About the session
This introductory workshop explores one of the many techniques of printmaking. Linocut is a relief printing technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum is used as the relief surface. The design is then cut into the linoleum surface with a selection of specialist tools, and printed using printing ink.
You will be shown how to produce a lino print, then invited to experiment by overlaying and combining colours, using various surfaces to print on. At the end of the session, you will have a series of gift tags and cards in your own design, as well as a lino block you can take away with you to continue printmaking at home.
All materials are included, and no previous experience of printmaking is required. Please be aware that this workshop is intended for adults only (18+). Printmaking can get messy, so please bring an apron or wear suitable clothing.

Tickets include complimentary parking for one vehicle, along with entry to Chatsworth House and Garden on the day of your workshop. You may also access the Christmas market.
