Printmaking Meet Up: Linocutting

(This event is for Makespace members, but feel free to bring guests!)

An informal gathering for all experience levels. Whether you’re completely new to printmaking or are already an expert, you’re welcome.

We’ll be focusing primarily on linocut printing to start: carving simple designs into lino, inking them up, and pulling prints using the press or hand tools.

Along the way you’ll get guidance from members with printmaking experience, plus plenty of space to experiment, share tips, and learn from each other.

Future sessions may explore other low-cost, accessible print methods too, depending on group interest.

What to expect
• Intro to basic lino cutting and printing
• Shared tools and materials available (limited quantities)
• Support from experienced Makespace members
• Bring your own tools, inks, or paper if you have them
• A relaxed, social atmosphere with space to work on your own ideas

Please note: this session involves sharp lino cutting tools and printing inks. A short safety briefing will be given at the start, and guidance will be available throughout.

Come along, make some prints, meet fellow creatives, and help grow a new printmaking community at Makespace. If you have questions beforehand, feel free to ask in the comments. See you there.
