Christmas Card Printing

Step away from the Christmas rush and spend a creative day at the Botanical Gardens learning the art of lino printing.
Surrounded by the beauty of the gardens in winter, you’ll gather inspiration from seasonal plants, berries and foliage before carving and printing your own festive design. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a set of ten hand-printed Christmas cards ready to share with loved ones.
Whether you’re looking to learn a new skill, enjoy a mindful creative experience or make something special for Christmas, this workshop offers the perfect opportunity to create thoughtful, handmade greetings inspired by nature.
What to expect:
The session will start with a short visit to the gardens to collect festive botanical images and sketches. You’ll then learn to trace these onto soft lino, carve and run a simple first print. Once you’re happy with the print, you’ll be able to create up to 10 cards which you can take home with you.
What’s included:
All materials and tools
Ten cards to print and envelopes to take home
Tea, coffee & cake throughout the morning
A calm, inspiring space to explore and develop printing techniques
No experience needed – complete beginners welcome.
This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in printing and creating their own homemade Christmas cards.
