Print Your Own Christmas Cards

Join local printmaker Blaise Butler for a festive, hands-on printmaking workshop where you’ll learn the process of linocut printing, a beginner-friendly technique where you carve a design into soft lino, which is then inked and hand printed.

It is encouraged to bring a simple design (max size 10 × 15 cm) so that you have more time to carve and print your design, or choose from a selection of festive designs provided. With guidance throughout, you’ll ink and hand-print your design onto up to six high-quality cards (with envelopes), creating a beautiful set of handmade Christmas cards to take home.

This workshop is beginner-friendly, calming, and creative, perfect for anyone who wants to try something new or enjoy a festive evening in a unique setting.

All tools and materials are included; just wear something you don’t mind getting ink on!

Bringing a simple design (max size 10 × 15 cm) is encouraged and helps maximise carving time. Simple, bold shapes work best. Pinterest is great for getting an idea of what works well with lino. Don’t worry if you don’t have a design, there will be inspiration material provided and time to design!
