Lino - not just for floors!

('Meersbrook View' Lino Print by James Green)


...well what a busy week... workshops are filling up quickly so get your skates on if your interested in booking a workshop! Our Lino Printing workshop is coming up soon with James Green on 2nd July. Lino Printing is a really hands-on way of transferring an image onto paper to form a print. Yes you use lino but it's slightly different from the stuff on your bathroom floor. It's very therapeutic carving into lino block with sharp looking tools and you get an amazing very detailed image. The best thing is that once you have your block carved you can make lots of prints in different colours, so you can make your own cards etc.

Some of James's works can be found on http://www.jamesgreenprintworks.blogspot.com/
