Lino Printing Shading and Contrast Workshop - Fish Theme

Join us for a fish-themed lino printing workshop in Southampton exploring shades and contrast.



3 hours Class size 1 to 15 guests       £35 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Discover the art of lino printing in our beautiful studio at the top of Woomdill – a space filled with creative energy and plenty of room to explore. This fish-themed workshop is the perfect introduction to the craft, whether you're a complete beginner or you've always wanted to give printmaking a go.
You'll be guided by an experienced artist who's genuinely passionate about printmaking and loves sharing what they know. Over the session, you'll learn the clever techniques that turn simple designs into truly compelling artwork – specifically, how to use shading and contrast to bring your prints to life. It sounds technical, but it's not; your teacher will break everything down into manageable steps, and you'll be surprised at what you can create.
You'll work with lino as your canvas, exploring marks, patterns, and the beautiful interplay of light and dark. As you carve and print, you'll develop a real understanding of how these fundamental techniques work – skills that'll stay with you long after the session ends. All materials are provided, so you just need to show up with your creativity and curiosity.
This is a hands-on, supportive experience where you'll not only build a new skill but also connect with fellow art enthusiasts who share your love of making. It's a brilliant way to express yourself, challenge yourself creatively, and leave knowing you've learned something genuinely valuable.
Please note: your prints will need time to dry after the session, so you won't be able to take them away on the day. We'll get in touch when they're ready for collection, and you can pick them up from the café downstairs – a lovely excuse for a revisit!
What you'll get
  • Multiple prints from your unique lino design.
  • Their original lino cut to take home and print more!
  • New skills to take into their future printmaking work.
Knowledge required
No previous knowledge or drawing skills are required. We cater to all levels of experience.
What to bring
Just themselves but please do wear older clothes as the ink will stain if it gets onto clothes. We provide aprons but we'd rather you be safe than sorry!

We’re two local artists with experience across painting, printmaking, mixed media and performance art, brought together by a shared love of making creativity feel accessible, enjoyable and genuinely rewarding.
We started Woodmill Art Studio with a simple idea: to create workshops where you learn real techniques while having the freedom to experiment, make your own creative choices and develop something that feels personal to you.
Rather than everyone leaving with an identical finished piece, we’ll give you the skills, guidance, inspiration and plenty of practical tips and tricks to create something you’re genuinely proud of — while building the confidence to keep creating long after the workshop is over.
Our workshops take place in the beautiful, light-filled top room at Woodmill Coffee & Kitchen and explore everything from painting and printmaking to mixed media and contemporary craft. No previous experience is needed — just a willingness to have a go.
