About this event

Lino Printing for (not quite) Beginners online workshop will allow you to develop your lino printing skills and create beautiful original prints over a 4 week period - all from the comfort of your own home.

Please note: these online sessions are designed for those who have previously attended a 'Lino Printing for Beginners' workshop by Crafts with Louisa or have other previous experience in Lino Printing.

Here's how it will work:

Step 1: Buy your tickets on Eventbrite (discounts are available for students, senior citizens and key workers – see below to find out how to apply)

Step 2: Borrow a lino printing kit (a £33 fully refundable deposit is required) which will be posted to you by Royal Mail 2nd Class (UK only). The kit includes:

  • Lino Cutter Tool 3-in-1
  • Ink Tray
  • Ink Roller
  • Set of black, white, red, yellow and blue block printing inks
  • 4 x Soft cut lino sheets (15 cm x 20 cm) *
  • 15 x A4 sheets of assorted paper and card *
  • 4 x A4 sheets of tracing paper *
*Lino sheets, paper/card and tracing paper do not need to be returned.

If you would rather purchase your own lino printing supplies, see below for my recommendations on what to buy and where.

Step 3: With your ticket you'll have access to the unique Zoom Meeting ID and Password and are welcome to join as many 2-hour online workshops as you like. Workshops will take place weekly on:

  • Sunday 7 June, 11am - 1pm
  • Sunday 14 June, 11am - 1pm
  • Sunday 21 June, 11am - 1pm
  • Sunday 28 June, 11am - 1pm

You'll also have access to exclusive online video content and other resources which will explain the entire lino printing process and help you through your project at your own pace.

Step 4: At the end of the 4 weeks, Louisa will email you a prepaid Royal Mail Click&Drop Label, simply print the label, attach it to the box the kit was delivered in and drop off at your local post office before the label expiry date. Once Louisa receives the kit you will be returned your £33 deposit**.

** Deposit will be returned in full only if all items lent out are returned in their original condition. The value of any items missing or damaged will be deducted from the deposit to cover the cost of replacement.

Buying your own lino printing kit

  • The Essentials: the Essdee Lino Printing Set, £24.50 at Cass Art (or £23.99 at Amazon) includes a wide selection of tools and materials for Lino printing, this kit actually got me started in lino printing!
The kit contains: 5 lino cutters, 1 safety lino cutter, 1 lino cutter handle, 1 aluminium ferrule, 2 mounted 7 x 5” hard lino blocks, 2 mounted 6 x 4” soft cut blocks, 1 practice piece, 1 4” ink roller, 1 ink tray, 1 safety hand guard, 1 baren cap, 1 baren base, 1 100 ml tube of water based ink, 2 45mm soft cut printing stamps and an instructional booklet.
  • Lino Blocks: the Lino Printing set includes 2 hard and 2 soft cut lino blocks. If you'd like more lino blocks to work with, then always go for soft cut. Essdee sells softcut blocks in packs of 2, in two different sizes (150mm x 100mm and 300mm x 200mm) from £2.95 at Cass Art.
  • Block Printing Ink: the Lino Printing set includes 1 tube of 100ml black ink, if you'd like to experiment with more colours then Cass Art sells yellow, red, blue, green, white and black Essdee block printing ink in 100ml tubes for £4.95 per tube. Or Amazon sells a pack of 5 Essdee block printing inks in primary colours for £17.76.
  • Tracing Paper: you'll need tracing paper for transferring your design from paper onto your lino block. Cass Art sells their own brand 90gsm A4 tracing paper pad of 50 sheets for £9.95 or Amazon sells a Silvine 90gsm A4 Pad of 50 sheets for £7.08.
  • Paper to print onto: I like using Seawhite cupcycling cartridge pad (A4, 140gsm, 50 sheets), it's great quality and texture for printing with and it recycles takeaway cups! You can get it from Cass Art for £5.50. Any smooth cartridge paper will work, however, and I'd recommend going for untextured paper that's between 120gsm and 200gsm in thickness. I also like using Clairefontaine Kraft Paper Pad (120gsm, A4, Brown, 50 Sheets) from Amazon for £5.70, and Frisk Black Paper Pad (135gsm, A4, 50 Sheets) from Amazon for £6.30.

I've been running arts and crafts workshops for just over 2 years. My favourite thing about running craft workshops is meeting new people and helping people learn a new skill. I studied fine art at the Glasgow School of Art where I specialised in illustration and animation.
