Printmaking Meet Up: Linocutting

(This event is for Makespace members and their guests)

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

Newbies: If you are new to the process, please arrive early so that you don't miss the tutorial at the beginning of the session.

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
• Materials available for purchase
• 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 safety briefing will be given at 17:30, 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.
