Lino Print Workshops
For creative souls looking for an artistic outlet or hobby so that they can feel replenished, refreshed and at one with their mojo.
Get ready to feel inspired and fall back in love with your creativity again.
You'll walk away with a spring in your step…
Taking time out to be creative is so important. Not only will you create beautiful professional looking artwork but you’ll also feel an enormous sense of achievement as you peel back that first print then explore your own colour ways, expressing your true personality and feeling completely lit up by the art you’re creating.
It is possible to take time for yourself even when life gets busy and it will make you all the more energised to tackle the jobs list when you’ve refilled your cup.
This workshop is for you if:
you need space to express yourself fully and are truly looking for a creative outlet
you want to explore creating your own artistic style and flare
you want a creative hobby that inspires you and gives you the time you've been craving for you
you know you love to create but need help getting started so that you fall in love with all of your pieces, spurring on that momentum to keep creating
you’re new to Lino print or want help refining your technique and are looking for a professional mentor to show you the ropes
You’re going to have the best time!
Art has this incredible power to transform moods and taking part in this workshop is going to do exactly that for you.
You’re going to leave feeling so uplifted and inspired to continue creating armed with your bespoke Lino block and series of colourful coastal prints.
Take this time for yourself and leave your to do list at the door - this is YOUR time to care for your creative side and explore what lights you up.
Imagine if …
Just think - this could be the start go that amazing hobby that helps you keep the stress at bay, gives you the creative outlet you crave or even becomes a way to create extra income (it worked for me!).

‘I really enjoyed my first experience of Lino printing with Heather. She made the experience fun and I felt very creative. So pleased with the results and looking forward to trying more of Heather’s wonderful workshops.’
Louise
‘Heather helped to break down how to draw out my design in the first place, and playing with the tools on scrap Lino before starting made sure that my final piece was perfect. [my sunflower design has] been complimented lots…getting compliments on something I designed then carved from scratch is the absolute biggest mood boost and makes me feel like I’m not necessarily just playing at being creative, I AM creative. I now feel more inclined to give drawing my own designs a go.’

My gift is bringing out your creative spark and building your confidence while I do it.
A Little Bit About Me
Hi, I’m Heather and I believe that EVERYONE can make art. I also believe that art is a great healer and allows us to get in touch with hidden parts of our personality.
I have been exhibited in galleries across the UK, featured in glossy lifestyle mags such as Coast Magazine and been invited to speak and demonstrate at Living North LIVE. I have also had the total joy of using my art to raise funds and awareness for Samaritans as well as using art as a way to unlock conversations and confidence with a local women’s charity.
I’ve experienced the mental health struggles that come with neglecting your self care and art has been a key tool in helping me become the best version of myself.
Whatever you think of your art skills, I will show you that there is an artist in all of us.

FAQs
How long are the sessions?
Sessions are 2 hours. They either run from 10am - 12pm or 1pm - 3pm
Can I bring a friend?
Of course. Linocut is a great way to spend time with a friend!
How many people can come to a workshop?
I keep numbers to a maximum of 5. This allows for everyone to get enough attention and have enough space. It also means that everyone can have time trying out the press.
What will I learn?
How to:
design your linocut
create different textures with the tools
carve accurately
get a good registration
play around with colour placement and mixing
I haven’t done anything arty for years. Can I still get something out of it?
That’s absolutely fine. You’ll get guidance through the entire process and there will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions along the way. You are going to feel so inspired by the time you leave!
How much detail is included?
Everything you need to create your first print series is included in these two hours. It’s perfect for beginners.
Do I need previous skills to take part?
Not at all. If you are skilled in other art forms then that’s great but not at all necessary.
Are there payment plans?
Depending on how many tickets you book you may be able to take advantage of PayPal’s Pay in 3 scheme. Otherwise it is one payment of £40.
