In this relaxed, beginner-friendly session, you’ll learn the fundamentals of lino printing: how to use carving tools safely, how to ink your block, and how to pull clean, satisfying prints.

You’ll leave with a small collection of cards featuring your own original design. No experience needed. No illustration skills required either, I’ll have optional templates ready if you’d rather not design from scratch.

What to expect:

• Explore a selection of beautiful paper types to see how texture and tone shape your final print.

• Full introduction to linoprinting tools and carving techniques.

• All materials provided (lino, ink, tools, cards, envelopes).

• Step-by-step guidance throughout, ideal for absolute beginners.

• A set of 4 hand-printed cards to take home.

• A calm, friendly studio vibe at Springbank Studio.

By the end, you’ll understand the essentials of linoprinting and head home with your own handmade cards plus the confidence to keep printing on your own.

About the maker

Hi, I’m Mags, a designer, printmaker, and educator based in London. I run Galley, my creative studio where I make handprinted cards, art prints, and stationery inspired by colour, craft, and slow living.My background is in graphic design, but I fell in love with lino printing; the rhythm of carving, inky hands, the satisfying reveal of each print. Now I also teach others how to create their own pieces, combining design thinking with traditional printmaking techniques.Join me for one of my relaxed, hands-on sessions where we carve, print, and enjoy the process of making something beautifully imperfect, one print at a time.
