Lino Printing Workshop: Celtic Knotwork Edition

Join printmaker and illustrator Abbie Lois for a relaxed and welcoming lino printing workshop for adults, where you’ll design, carve and print your own artwork by hand.

For those drawn to the intricate details of celtic knotwork. A three and a half hour workshop where we will be inspired by celtic knotwork designs taken from ancient stone carvings, manuscripts and museum archives. A chance to recreate an ancient design, surrounded by like-minded creatives.

You’ll be guided step-by-step through the full lino printing process, from transferring your design to carving safely and confidently, before inking up and pulling your final prints by hand. During the workshop, you’ll learn helpful tips and tricks to help you make the most out of the lino printing process, and will have access to professional-grade tools and materials.

As the source material can be very complex at times, all the designs will be printed out to fit to your lino - meaning you can trace the design on to the lino directly, and enjoy the process of carving without worrying about making sure the knotwork is making any sense!

However, you’re still very welcome to bring your own ideas. Your finished artwork will fit to either 148x105mm (A6) or 210x148mm (A5), so please ensure your design fits within these dimensions. We can print out your design on the day, or a few days before the workshop begins.
