2 linocut techniques in 2 days workshop

Join us for a 2-day linocut printmaking workshop with the artist Sam Marshall.

Sam is the author of the bestselling book, ‘LINOCUT – A Creative Guide to Making Beautiful Prints’ published by Bloomsbury. She is currently working on her second book ‘SKETCH’ which will be published in 2026.

Sam makes linocuts and etchings inspired by her sketchbook drawings done whilst travelling around the world. She is passionate about drawing and believes everyone can draw and she encourages you to use your drawings and sketchbooks for inspiration for the prints you will make during the 2-day workshop. Sam will provide worksheets in advance of the workshop, so you can prepare your drawings/ designs in advance. 

On the first day you will create a reduction linocut, using on A5 linocut block. Sam will introduce you to the technique and show you examples of her work. She will also demonstrate the ternes burton registration method which you will use for both techniques. You will produce a small edition of prints from your reduction linocut.

On the 2^nd day you will work on a multi block linocut. Sam will explain the 2 different ways to approach this technique, and you will be working with 3 or 4 A6 linocut blocks. You will carve your blocks and print a small edition of prints from your multiple blocks.

This workshop is suitable for beginners and as well as more experienced printmakers. Sam is also teaching an Experimental Printmaking two day course for us on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th August.
