Lino Printing Workshop 12th July - Muswell Hill Books & Parlour

from £22.50

Remember lino printing at school and how difficult it seemed? The good news is that printmaking has come a long way since then. It's a wonderfully accessible and rewarding art form that's perfect for anyone who thinks they "can't draw" or believes they're “not creative enough” to make art.

This friendly, hands-on workshop is the perfect introduction to block printing. No previous experience is needed, and you don't need any drawing skills—just a willingness to have a go and enjoy the process.

During the workshop, you'll learn how to use specialist carving tools safely, design and carve your own unique stamp, and then ink and print your creations to take home. We use soft, easy-to-carve rubber blocks rather than traditional lino, making the process much easier and more enjoyable for beginners. Your finished stamp can be used again and again to create handmade cards, wrapping paper, artwork, tea towels, T-shirts, tablecloths and unique gifts.

All materials and equipment are provided, so you can simply turn up and start creating. Workshops take place at Muswell Hill Books & Parlour, 190 Fortis Green Road, London N10 3DU.

Classes are intentionally kept small to ensure everyone receives plenty of individual guidance and support. Beginners will usually start with a simple one-colour design, but as your confidence grows, you can explore more advanced techniques such as multi-block, reduction and jigsaw printing. Before each workshop, I'll chat with you about your interests and creative goals so you can get the most from your experience.

Suitable for adults and children aged 8 and over, this workshop offers a relaxed, welcoming environment where creativity can flourish. Children are welcome to attend with a parent or guardian, with both booking a place. The pace is unhurried and supportive, creating a peaceful, non-competitive space where you can switch off, learn something new and enjoy a few mindful hours away from everyday distractions. Tea, coffee and light refreshments are included.

Each place costs £45 (£22.50 for children) and includes all materials used during the session.

At the end of the workshop, you'll take home your hand-carved stamp (approximately A6 size), along with any prints, cards or projects you've created during the class. You'll also have the skills and confidence to continue printing at home, creating beautiful handmade gifts and artwork for friends, family and yourself.

Workshops last 3 hours, from 2pm to 5pm.

Spaces are limited to keep class sizes small, so early booking is recommended. Choose from the dates below—or book multiple sessions if you'd like to develop your skills further and explore more advanced printmaking techniques.
