Workshop Details

Expert Guidance by Layla

Led by Layla, a celebrated local printmaker and ecologist, the workshop is tailored for beginners and aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the techniques of linocut printmaking. Layla’s passion for wildlife and botany shines through her teaching, making this a truly inspirational experience. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own botanical prints using the natural beauty of Trebah Garden as their muse.

Hands-On Experience

Attendees will work on postcard-sized blocks and will learn various image transfer techniques, including hand burnishing and using a tabletop press. The focus will be on crafting a small edition of prints to take home, making this not only an educational experience but also one that produces tangible outcomes.

What to Bring and Other Details

Materials and More

All necessary materials for the workshop will be provided. For those who find themselves bitten by the printmaking bug, a starter printing kit will be available for purchase, allowing the continuation of this engaging craft at home.

Refreshments and Meals

Complimentary tea and coffee will be served throughout the day. Participants are advised to bring a packed lunch, although there is also the option to purchase lunch at the garden’s café. Remember to wear an apron or old clothes and bring a sketch pad, along with any images or ideas that might inspire your prints.
