Nature Linocut Workshop with Kelly Autumn

Celebrate Spring in this fun and beginner-friendly creative linocut printmaking workshop. We'll start with a short nature photo walk around our beautiful blooming Native Plant Garden to gather inspiration, then head into Heron Hall to create a small series of hand-printed cards on a variety of paper choices.

No experience is required. Students can work from photographs, or sketches and will learn to carve and print a 4 x 6 inch rubber block using a carving tool and water-soluble inks. Whether you're new to printmaking or looking to expand your skills, this hands-on workshop offers a supportive space to create something truly special. Class fee includes all materials.
