✷ Linocut workshops ✷

Natasha Davis teaches friendly, small-group linocut printmaking workshops across Southend-on-Sea and Castle Point in Essex. Perfect for beginners and experienced makers alike, these linocut workshops teach you how to design, carve and print your own linocut artwork.

Looking for a creative class in Essex? I teach friendly, small-group linocut workshops for every stage, from your very first cut to your third colour layer. All materials included, just bring yourself.

New here? Start with a Taster or a Beginner craft course, then keep building your skills in Intermediate. Most people who try one workshop book another.

What a lovely course! Natasha was very welcoming and guided us through the basics of Linocutting …..and then we worked through a practice piece followed by our main design. Thoroughly recommended!!!

This workshop was SO fun and Natasha is incredibly sweet and accommodating. We were all given amazing advice and tips while creating, and ended up with great results and some wonderful prints and memories to take away! I'd give 100 stars if I could :) thanks so much!

FAQs

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a bit inky! While I do use water-based inks or Caligo Safewash inks (which are water-soluble and easier to clean), it's best to wear an apron or old clothes just in case as the ink can stain fabrics.

Do I need any previous experience?

Not at all! The linocut for beginners workshop was designed specifically for complete beginners. During the workshop, I will guide you step-by-step through the printmaking process., from sketching a design to hand-printing your artwork. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve in a few hours!

Can I bring my own design?

Absolutely! If you have a design idea or sketch you'd like to work from, please bring it along. If you're not sure what to create, I will help you come up with ideas on the day. Simple, bold designs work best for a first linocut.

What's your cancellation policy?

Cancellation and a full refund can be obtained up to 2 weeks before the workshop takes place. If you wish to cancel your place, please email hello@natashadavisart.co.uk. Cancellations with less than 2 weeks notice will not be refunded. Please double-check you can attend the workshop date before booking.

Can I take my art home?

Yes, you'll take home your hand-carved lino block and the print(s) you create during the workshop. You'll also receive a printmaking guide with tips for continuing your linocut journey at home which will be emailed out after the workshop.

Are workshops accessible?
Can I book a workshop as a gift?

Yes! Workshop places make wonderful gifts. You can purchase a gift voucher in my shop.

I am committed to making my linocut workshops accessible to everyone. Please get in touch before booking to discuss your specific requirements, and I will do my best to accommodate you; please be aware that venue accessibility varies, so it's helpful to know in advance.
