Have you got a drive to work with your hands but don’t want a huge outlay that each new hobby brings? Are you looking for something outside of the usual art selection? Lino Printing is a great creative outlet that allows you to make custom works that you can reproduce years into the future.  

Lino Cut Printing is the art of carving channels into a smooth lino blank to create a stamp that can be as intricate or as bold as you choose. With a steady hand and smooth movements, you can turn a blank into a masterpiece with the right tools - tools that don't cost the earth!  This workshop explores the basics of Lino Cut Printing, including what equipment you can use, key safety tips, carving and printing techniques and how to finish your work so you look like a pro! 

This small group workshop is designed to stoke the joy of art making, and to learn the ins and outs of a medium that is not the usual contender.

Artist Profile

Salty Soul Creative Studio, run by Basia Lamb, is dedicated to experimentation and the rediscovering all of our creative abilities. Basia is a firm believer that the only thing that differentiates an Artist from the crowd is an innate will to create. She focuses on coaxing out those skills that we all have, reimagining the traditional rules and letting you loose to create unique, hand crafted work you’ll be proud of.
