For artists and non-artists alike

Lino Cutting Workshops

My one day lino cutting workshops are normally hosted @ my studio in Stellenridge, Bellville, Cape Town.

This workshop is for people who wish to begin their exploration of relief block printing. Or just simply try something new. Artists and non-artists can do this. Together we will explore a range of simple methods of creating stunning images on paper, giving you your very own amazing work to take home. You will also learn a variety of different mark making methods. You will be supported throughout the entire process.
