What to Expect at our Norwich Lino Printing Workshop

You’ll be welcomed into the Artidote studio and guided through the printmaking process.

We start loose. No intensity. No seriousness.

We begin with simple design ideas and mark-making techniques, helping you understand how lino works, what to cut, what to leave, how images translate into print. THere will be plenty of design reference to inspire you.
