About this Workshop:
Time to get inky! You want to make prints, but not quite ready to get certified for access to the studio printing press? Need a DIY option for proofing on the go? In this Make+Take workshop, bring your pre-carved linoleum blocks and explore a range of budget-friendly press options. From compact designs to DIY solutions, you’ll test out different tools to find the one that fits your needs.
You’ll leave with a small collection of impressions and practical knowledge to help you decide on the perfect home press setup. Ideal for printmakers ready to expand their practice!
