Lino Basics: Beltane Garlands, Mother’s Day cards and an ode to plants

Sign up and find more at: https://www.edengrace.ca/lino-basics

A 4 hour workshop split between morning and afternoon, exploring the basics of lino printing with plants as our muse. You will be encouraged to come to the day with some basic ideas for your 2 small prints. By the time we gather, we will share a bit about who our plant choices are and why they came with us today. It could be a long-time friend, a new relation, or a plant calling your name this spring. The day will consist of caring for these plant spirits and perhaps even learning more about their essence, while designing, carving, and printing our 2 designs. By the end of the day, you will have multiple small prints on triangles that we will string together to make your garland. You will also have a few cards printed with the same design that you may gift to a mother figure/new mama/or alter for her. Hang up your garland for an event, or at home to usher in the plant's’ support.

PS You will receive a little lino how to zine to refer to in class and remember the steps for printing at home!

Info: Morning will consist of designing and carving our blocks, as well as talking about the plants we chose to work with.

Info: Lunch break! Go explore Chinatown for lunch or bring something to eat in the studio <3

Info: Learn how to print your Lino blocks with multiple colours and make your garland and cards!
