Join printmaker and author Laura Sowerby for a full day of linocut printmaking at the beautiful Conservatory of Lauderdale House in Highgate – a setting that's hard to beat, with its tranquillity, botanical inspiration and a lovely café to hand.
Across the day, you'll learn every step of the process and create your own unique linocut in full colour, working with this beautiful, accessible medium alongside a small, friendly group. Laura will share everything she knows from over ten years of teaching printmaking to beginners, and you'll take inspiration and encouragement from your fellow participants along the way. Everyone leaves not only with several beautiful prints but with a genuine sense of achievement and a real boost to their confidence – it could be the start of a lifelong love of linocut.
You're in expert hands with Laura, who creates intricate botanical prints and handmade wallpaper in linocut from her studio in the Langdale Fells. Her work has featured in Country Living, Gardens Illustrated, Country Homes and Interiors and The English Home, and she's a regular exhibitor at Cumbria's Printfest and Great Print Exhibitions.
By the end of the day, you'll take home your own beautiful prints, along with an information pack detailing the quality materials you've used and where to find them – everything you need to keep exploring linocut printmaking long after the workshop ends.

Location

Lauderdale House, Waterlow Park, Highgate Hill, London

We are in the Conservatory of Lauderdale House. Based in the grounds of Waterlow Park just off Highgate Hill, close to both Archway and Highgate Village. The 210, 263, 310 and 143 bus routes stop just outside our gates. From Archway Tube Station We are about ten minutes by foot from Archway Tube Station, following Highgate Hill from Navigator Square. Please note that the route is steeply uphill. Alternatively, you can take bus number 263 from the edge of Navigator Square (stop E) to the stop "Waterlow Park / Lauderdale House" directly outside the house. From Highgate Tube Station It takes approximately 15 minutes to walk from Highgate Tube to Lauderdale House, this route also includes a steep hill. Follow Southwood Lane towards Highgate Village until you reach Highgate Hill. Turn left and follow the road downhill until you reach Lauderdale House, which is on the edge of Waterlow Park. From Highgate Cemetary / Swain's Lane Walking across Waterlow Park from Highgate Cemetery to Lauderdale House takes about five minutes. This is a lovely, scenic route through the park. However, please note that the park is only open between sunrise and sunset. If you are making this journey after dark, you will need to detour around the outside of the park via Swain's Lane, Bisham Gardens and Highgate Hill. Driving Please note that we do not have our own parking at Lauderdale House, as we are based within a public park. Public parking spaces are available on Highgate Hill and some of the surrounding side streets - please check parking restrictions and prices before leaving your vehicle here, and note that restrictions are different on the two sides of the street! There is one disabled parking bay directly outside our gates.
