Where: The Common Press at Glass House, 118 Bethnal Green Rd, London E2 6DG, UK
Cost: £30 (the cost includes provision of all materials, and you taking home the art you make)
Over the two hours together, Gemma will take you through the lino-printing process from start to finish. We'll being with a few warm-up drawing skills, leading into some linocutting techniques and a demonstration on how to transfer your design onto a lino-block. Over the second part of the workshop, you'll learn how to carve your design and finally how to make a print!
This session will be open for up to 15 people, thus providing a friendly atmosphere, where guidance and support can take place.
We're looking forward to bringing a group of lovely queer women, trans and non-binary people together to learn a creative skill and make new connections with each other. Non-alcoholic drinks will be available to enjoy throughout the evening, with the venue open afterwards to hang around and chat.
The Glass House is London's newest LGBTQIA space to create a safe and welcoming environment for the queer community. The bookshop and toilets are wheelchair accessible, but unfortunately the downstairs space we will be using is not accessible.
If you have any access requirements before the workshop, please email us.
