Linocut Printmaking Workshop

I’d like to invite you to my upcoming linocut workshop dedicated to creating your own EX LIBRIS* bookplate.

*ex libris - a decorative bookplate, a small printed artwork used to mark ownership and give books a unique personal touch

During this workshop we will focus on designing a personal ex libris – a unique print that marks book ownership. You can create a design with your name, initials, or a symbolic composition that reflects your personality, interests, or the world of books.

You will learn the basics of the linocut technique, create your own design, carve the printing plate, and make your first hand-printed artwork.
This workshop is a great opportunity not only to try the traditional printmaking technique, but also to create a meaningful and personal mark for your books – a small artwork that will stay with them for years.

If you prefer, you are also welcome to create a design on any theme you like.

Even if you have never tried linocut before, everything will work out. I will guide you through each step and support you throughout the process.
This workshop is a great way to spend a few hours in a relaxed creative atmosphere, try something new, take a break from everyday routines, and create a warm handmade gift for someone special.
What we will do:
🔹 get introduced to the traditional linocut technique
🔹 carve your own design
🔹 experiment with hand printing and create original postcards
