Workshops

New for 2026, my popular private lino workshops are back! See below...

I am also doing a group workshop at Preston Bissett on the 4 July 2026. And two workshops at Stowe House, one on the 16th August and one on the 22nd November.

Watch this space or sign up to my mailing list to hear when I have more workshops organised. 

Private workshops at my home studio

I'm very happy to announce that from 2026 I will be resuming my popular, private lino workshops. I now have a brand new studio in the garden and can accomodate up to four students at a time. Come on your own, or book your friends in too for a discounted rate.
With notice, I can sometimes accomodate alternative dates, so do ask if you have a specific date that you would like to book.

Stowe House

Sunday 16th August 2026

A one day lino workshop at Stowe House, Buckingham, MK18 5EH *Please follow the signs for the Stowe School entrance

I'll show you how to create a small reduction lino print. A reduction linocut is a multi-layered print which is created by repeated cutting and printing from the same block of lino. The tuition is suitable for beginners or improvers. I'll provide all the equipment and materials you will need. 

We will cover how to plan a design and transfer it to the lino; how to cut the lino; how to ink up the lino and how to print it by hand. You will also learn how to correctly register your prints. We will be using water based inks and soft cut lino. You will leave with a small run of prints. 

Please bring along a few images that inspire you and a bite to eat for lunch. £90 per person.
