Lino Print workshop with Zoe Forster

10am-12noon and 2pm-4pm
Phoenix Youth Centre, St Pauls Road, Frizington

Join artist Zoe Forster for some fun family lino printing! Learn the basics of this creative art form and create your own print to take home.  

 Lino printing is a hands-on printmaking technique that encourages imagination and artistic expression. You draw onto a linoleum surface a design that is then carved out using carving tools. Ink is then rolled on to the carved linoleum (lino), then the design is pressed by hand onto a paper surface.

You’ll leave the workshop with your piece of artwork and can even take your carved lino home to keep using your design.  

No previous experience required, and all materials are provided. Use of sharp implements is involved – children must be supervised by adults.
