Whether you're a beginner or have prior experience, Linda’s instruction will provide valuable insights and techniques to enhance your printmaking practice.
It’s a place for creativity to flow, with ample opportunities for artists to share ideas, receive feedback, and develop their craft.

What is Printmaking?
Printmaking is a creative process where artists transfer images from a prepared surface onto another surface, usually paper or fabric. It allows for the production of multiple copies of the same artwork, known as prints, though each one can have slight variations, making them unique.
The artist carves into a block (wood, linoleum, or rubber), removing areas they don’t want to print. Ink is then applied to the raised surface and transferred to paper.
