Print the Witch! Lino Printmaking workshop

Inspired by the stories, folklore and legends surrounding Kilkenny’s famous witch trials, Print the Witch! is a relaxed, beginner-friendly introduction to the traditional craft of linocut printmaking.

Guided by local artist and printmaker Blaise Butler, you’ll learn how to carve and hand-print your own witch or folklore-inspired design. You’ll be guided through each step of the process; from designing and carving to pulling your finished print.

No previous experience is needed, and all materials are provided. Leave with your own unique hand-printed artwork and a new appreciation for one of the oldest forms of printmaking, all while celebrating the rich folklore and mysterious history that inspired the Toil & Trouble Festival.
