February 14, a beautiful opportunity to cherish all your loved ones; whether it is your (secret?) lover, your mum, dad, your best friend or someone who means a lot to you? This is the day to make them feel special!

Express you care about your loved ones by sending them a beautiful hand-made card, and spread your love for them with hand-printed love hearts, cupid arrows or beautiful phrases.

We’ll be printing our Valentine’s cards using the lino-cut technique. A great and simple technique, that allows you to easily mass-produce your beautiful, hand-made cards.

In this 2-hour workshop you will:

  • Learn the fundamentals of lino-printing; from drawing and carving your image, to inking and printing.
  • Create: you can choose to do a larger lino-cut or a few smaller ones that you can use as stamps. The smaller ones will be great to use for the inside of your card
  • Can bring your own images for inspiration, but don’t worry if you don’t have any, plenty of inspiring images and ideas will be provided.
  • Will have a great time! Lino-cutting is a very forgiving medium, so whatever you make will look great!
  • Take it one step further: To make your message beautiful both in words and visually, we will talk about some simple tips & tricks to make your card an overall artwork.
