Come and join me for a fun day learning the basics of lino printing, making your very own beautiful reduction print of a moon gazing hare.

Reduction Lino Printing Workshop

Join local artist Helen McCormick for a relaxed, creative day at The Walronds. Learn the foundational skills of lino printing and the fascinating "reduction" method to create a multi-coloured set of prints.

About the Workshop

Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to explore a new medium, this workshop offers a friendly and supportive space to create and learn. Throughout the day, I will teach you how to create a design and transfer it to your lino block.You will have the opportunity to develop your cutting techniques and familiarise yourself with various tools before embarking on your final piece.

We will be creating a reduction print, which involves a sequence of carving and layering colours on a single block. I will demonstrate every stage—from the first cut to the final ink—to ensure the process is clear and rewarding.

What’s Included

All lino blocks, inks, tools, and paper.

Step-by-step demonstrations for a 4-colour print (using three shades of blue and black).

Tea and coffee provided throughout the day.

What you'll take home: A set of 5 final prints, your test print, and your carved lino block.

What to Bring

A packed lunch.

An apron and old clothes you don't mind getting a little ink on.
