About the workshop providers:
Lynn is a textiles, art, and design technology teacher who has been inspiring
people of all ages and abilities since 2009. Alongside her teaching, she creates her
own artwork, drawing inspiration from pattern, nature, the world around her and the
fascinating lives of others. She works across many mediums, but the varying forms
of printmaking have always been her greatest passion and where she most enjoys
guiding others to discover their own creative voice. The workshops she co runs are
hands-on, welcoming, and designed to make creativity feel accessible, joyful, and
fun.
Community and collaboration are important to Lynn. She creates opportunities for
people to connect through shared making, encouraging them to express their
stories and experiences through art. One project involved guiding students to
create textile pieces reflecting their experiences of Covid. Their work became part
of the ‘Threads of Survival’ community project in Hyde Park, where it was
transformed into quilts and toured the country as part of a national exhibition.
Through the workshops, Lynn offers a welcoming, hands-on space where creativity
can grow, confidence can flourish, and everyone is invited to explore the joy of
creating.
Emma Digby is a practising printmaker and experienced educator who has been teaching since 2006. Alongside her work in education, she maintains an active practice, working across a wide range of printmaking techniques and embracing the hands-on, exploratory nature of the medium. She also enjoys using inks, foil and collage.
She has extensive experience teaching printmaking skills to learners of all ages and abilities, with a particular strength in making processes accessible, supportive, and enjoyable. Her teaching is rooted in a strong understanding of materials, process, and creative confidence-building.
Emma’s work is inspired by a rich mix of influences, including font and the natural world. These themes emerge in her prints through symbolism, pattern, shadows, and a sense of wonder, reflecting a deep love of storytelling, curiosity, and close observation.
