Workshops
Hands-on linocut sessions for adults—clear demos, shared tools, and time to pull real proofs.
Every workshop at Linia Press starts with planning the block: what stays raised, what falls away, and how ink will sit on cotton paper. We keep groups small so each person has room to carve safely and enough press time to pull more than one proof. Classes are for adults; we do not run children’s parties or school-day camps.
Bring closed-toe shoes and clothes that can take a little ink. We supply linoleum plates, gouges, brayers, and inks for scheduled workshops. If you already own tools you trust, you are welcome to bring them—just tell us when you book so we can set an extra space at the table.
-
First Block · Introduction
A calm three-hour session covering transfer methods, safe cutting posture, single-colour inking, and hand-burnishing. You leave with a finished print and notes on drying and editioning.
-
Reduction Printing
For makers who already cut a clean line. We walk through multi-pass colour on one plate, registration jigs, and how to plan destruction order before the first cut.
-
Open Press Mentoring
Book a guided afternoon with your own project. We help with paper choice, ink stiffness, and troubleshooting weak impressions without taking over your design.
-
Edition Weekend
A longer format for printers finishing a small edition—consistent inking, numbering, and a short critique of the series as a whole.
How booking works
Send a request through our contact form with the workshop name and a preferred date. We confirm by email with timing, what to bring, and how to pay a deposit. Cancellations with at least forty-eight hours’ notice keep your place transferable to another session within three months.
If a class is full, we keep a short waitlist and open an extra date when demand is clear. Private groups of three to five adults can reserve the studio on quieter weekday afternoons—write to us with your preferred window.
