Join artist and printmaker Ian Halawi for a Lino cutting workshop. Ian Halawi is an artist based in Blackburn with a studio at Prism contemporary. He has many years experience of running printmaking workshops with various organisations such as the Lancashire Wildlife Trust, The Royal Horticultural Society and The National Festival of Making. A lot of his work is inspired by nature and this shows with a graphic illustrative style that shows in his relief prints.
