Lino Block Cutting

Lino printing, also called linocut or linoleum block printing, is a relief printmaking method where an image is carved into a linoleum block, inked, and then pressed onto paper or fabric. It’s a favorite of mine for creating cards—I carve a beautiful block and use it to make personalized designs for special occasions.

Using specialized tools, the non-printing areas are cut away, leaving the raised surfaces to hold the ink. This versatile and rewarding art form blends creativity with technique, offering a unique way to produce stunning prints. With the right tools and a bit of practice, anyone can dive into the world of Lino printing. Choose from a basic pattern or create one in the moment. At the end of this class, you will print off a card, some prints and also on canvas for a cute patch for yourself.

All materials will be supplied so all you need to bring is your creative mind. We’ll have plenty of nibblies and snacks, along with a selection of curated cocktails and local beers to enjoy. Snack boards can be purchased with your tickets, and cocktails will be available all night. Doors Open at 5:30
