carve + print with linocuts

Step into the tried and true craft of printmaking, where art meets a bit of magic. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll bring botanical designs to life, creating one-of-a-kind, customizable prints that are ready to decorate walls.

what you'll create:

Before digital printers existed, artists used relief printing to reproduce images by carving designs into surfaces like linoleum or wood, inking them, and pressing the inked blocks onto paper or other materials. Think of it as the original “copy and paste,” but way more satisfying.

In this workshop, you’ll design and carve your own linoleum blocks, inspired by flowers, natural forms, or whatever else comes to mind. Then, using hand-rolled ink and traditional transfer techniques, you’ll produce crisp, clean, expressive prints that reflect your personal style.

By the end, you’ll leave not only with finished artwork, but with the actual tools and know-how to keep printing at home.

what you will learn:

  • Safe + effective techniques for carving linoleum blocks

  • Art of inking: mixing, rolling, + application for best results

  • How to transfer your design cleanly from block to paper

  • Techniques for making multiple prints from a single carving

  • How to troubleshoot, or embrace, common hiccups (smudges, uneven ink, + more)

what is included:

  • All materials needed to carve + print

  • 2 finished, sized prints to take home

  • Complete printmaking toolkit for future projects

  • Instruction from an experienced, certified art educator

  • Frame-worthy artwork + skills you can build on

event details:

  • What to Bring: Nada! Just yourself + some curiosity

  • Experience Level: No previous experience required! We’re beginner-friendly + happy to host returning intermediate makers

  • Duration: 3.5 hours of creative exploration

  • Take Home: Your prints + a full toolkit to continue your new craft

  • What to Wear: Comfortable clothes you wouldn’t mind getting inked
