In this class, Emilie will teach you how to make your own, individually designed print! You’ll be taken through each step – from designing, calving a linocut stamp and then printing using a beautiful 2 colour gradient!
Once you have made your stamp – you can use it on greeting cards, t-shirts, tote bags – whatever your heart desires!
Maybe you will make a print of your puppy, your best friend, or your favourite dessert! Can’t wait to see all the beautiful things you make!
This is a totally beginner class so no experience needed!
