In this 8 hour workshop, you will be working on one 10cm square design with the aim of producing a print that you are proud of. I will guide you through all the steps from planning, transferring, carving and proofing, to printing your design on quality art printing paper and fabric. We'll explore different ways of mark making on lino, as well as various printing techniques and ink effects.
Photos and illustrations are provided for your inspiration, or you can work from your own sketches or photos. You will be working with traditional art linoleum, professional carving tools and pinks, hand-printing tools.
This workshop is designed to teach you the basic techniques for linocut printing, with time for experimentation and asking questions. You will leave with more skills and an insight into the process of linocut as an easy art form that can be done at home with very little space or special materials required. You will take home all the prints and blocks you make during the workshop.
No printmaking experience required. Everyone from 10 years old and up and artistic abilities are welcome.
What this course includes:
friendly tuition in a small- group environment
all materials needed to make a print that you are proud of
tea, fresh coffee and biscuits throughout the workshop
an information sheet on good basic linocut equipment and suppliers
What to bring:
Please wear old clothes that you don't mind getting inky (or an old apron).
You may wish to bring a packed lunch - fridge / microwave / cutlery can be provided.
You are very welcome to bring your own designs / sketches / photos - simple black & white images work best.

About Phil
Phil works from his home studio in a small hamlet on the north coast of Cornwall in the UK. His work focuses on wheel thrown tableware and decorative pit-fired pieces fired with sawdust and seaweed from local Cornish beaches. He takes his inspiration from his love of nature and the ever-changing Cornish coastline.
Originally from Liverpool, he spent over 30 years working as a surgeon, mainly in the UK but also in Africa and Australia. In 2017 he decided to make his hobby a full-time commitment, retired from surgery, and started Goonearl Ceramics.
He has taught manual skills throughout his whole career and specifically pottery over the last five. He loves sharing his own knowledge and collaborating with and learning from others.
