Linocut Print Christmas Cards with Plant and Algae Dyes with CQ Studio
About this Event
Join us for a festive creative workshop where you will learn the art of linocut printing to create your own personalised selection of Christmas cards. Explore traditional printmaking techniques as you design and carve your own festive motifs, from seasonal foliage and winter illustrations to bespoke patterns and lettering. Using natural dyes and botanical-inspired colours, you will learn how to print your designs onto cards, experimenting with colour, texture and repeat patterns. We will guide you through each step, from developing your initial design to carving and printing.
Enjoy a hands-on creative experience, with time to explore the Sustainable Festive Market, discover unique gifts from independent brands and soak up the festive atmosphere. You'll leave with a personalised selection of Christmas cards, designed and printed by you!
