FAQ

Is any experience required?
None, I will guide you through the process. You just bring the enthusiasm.
Age limit?
Due to the nature of lino cutting, this is not advised for children.
Can I take the cards home on the day?
Lino ink can take a while to dry, in previous workshops the creators have taken them on the day - or I can post them to you for an additional £5 (payable on the day).

I’m Paul, a landscape artist and designer based in the Cotswolds. I graduated with a first class (Hons) degree in graphic design in London, and although I’ve co-run a design studio for many years, making marks by hand has always been where my ideas and inspiration start.
Moving from London to the Cotswolds in 2022 changed how I work. Surrounded by woods, fields and old stories, I’ve become more interested than ever in raw materials and what they can do.
I’m endlessly curious about what happens when you mix different materials in art, and my workshops are built around that curiosity. Come and experiment with me.
