Carve & Create Your Own Lino Christmas Card

Welcome to Carve & Create Your Own Lino Christmas Card event! Join us at The Millhouse Gallery & Cafe for a fun-filled day of creativity. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to carve your own unique designs into linoleum blocks and print your very own personalized Christmas cards. No experience necessary - just bring your artistic spirit and we'll provide all the materials you need. Get into the festive spirit and craft something special for your loved ones this holiday season. Don't miss out on this opportunity to make your holiday greetings truly one-of-a-kind!

The traditional method of Lino printing offers a fantastic way to see drawings and illustrations come to life in an amazing form to regular pen and pencil, with possibilities to print on paper or fabric alike...

No previous Lino print experience is needed as Amber will guide you from beginning to end with full instruction and demonstration on how to transfer/ draw an image onto the Lino, how to go use the tools, cutting a basic design and making the print.

At the end of the class, you’ll have prints made with your newly cut lino design, ready to show off. You’ll be able to take your Lino tile home to repeat the print as many times as you like to personalise gifts, greetings cards and more.

We will be using black ink so please bring an apron or old shirt/ tshirt that you don’t mind getting messy.

We will be working from an A6 tile so if you want to work from your own design then please bring a pre drawn or pre printed simple A6 design that you can work with, if not there will be some basic templates to copy.

(If you purchase the combined Christmas card & bunting ticket this will be a full day with an hour inbetween the sessions for lunch.
