Repeating Patterns

Repeating Patterns

As you start imagining your design, Emily will share simple techniques for creating lino blocks that repeat or layer beautifully with different colours.


Design and Carve

Design and Carve

Learn the essentials of safe lino carving as you design two stamps of your own. With paper and carbon transfer provided, you can sketch, play, and experiment before committing to the block.


Print!

Print

With your carving complete, head to the print station at your own pace. Mix your chosen colours, practice on newsprint, then print your design onto beautiful Fabriano paper


In this 3-hour workshop, you’ll be guided through the creative and satisfying process of lino block printing – from initial idea to final print.
We’ll start by exploring different approaches to designing lino blocks, with a special focus on how to create satisfying repeat patterns. Whether you’re drawn to bold shapes, intricate detail, or abstract motifs, you’ll learn how to turn your ideas into printable designs.
Then it’s time to carve! You’ll be shown the basics of lino cutting – from using the tools safely to achieving clean, confident lines.
Each participant will design, carve, and print two 7.5 x 7.5 cm lino blocks of their own. We’ll print your blocks onto paper during the session, and you’ll leave with your carved blocks, your prints, and a handy pamphlet explaining how to repeat and combine your designs in future projects.
Best of all, your lino blocks can be used again and again – on paper or fabric (with the right inks) – and we’ll talk through ideas for how to continue printing at home.
  • Learn key techniques for designing effective lino blocks
  • Explore pattern-making and repetition in print design
  • Carve and print 2 of your own unique lino stamps
  • Receive a take-home pamphlet with repeat pattern ideas
  • Walk away with your blocks and prints, ready to use again

I was pleased with my designs as this can help with my personal website and socials :)

  • 5/5 from Ciara Dempsey, attended Jul 2026: Brilliant session, Emily ran the session and she was encouraging and helpful. Very good if you are a beginner and want an introduction to Lino printing. You don’t have to be good at drawing and don’t need any previous experience. Such a good place to start if you’re looking to get into a new crafting venture or if you just want a one off time to play and do something new!

We printed on exquisite Japanese paper and experimented with using both sides (smooth and coarse). I was introduced to reduction linocut which I absolutely loved. I would not hesitate to recommend this class to anyone.
  • 5/5 from Vicky, attended Jul 2026: Another lovely, creative class from the Something Good Workshop team. Ideal for complete beginners or more experienced people, led by knowledgeable, practising artists in a friendly, welcoming space.
  • 5/5 from Katherine Hodkinson, attended Jul 2026: I'd wanted to try lino printing for a while and do this class on a bit of an impulse. I really enjoyed it, it was a good level of explanation and advice combined with plenty of time and freedom to make your own individual design. I had an basic idea what I wanted to do but I really appreciated Emily's suggestions on how to make it work better as a print. It was fun and friendly and everyone made really different things which was very interesting to see. I came away feeling confident and inspired to try more printing independently.
  • 5/5 from Morgane Johnson, attended Jun 2026: I gifted the lino cutting and printing class to a close friend for her birthday, and we both had an amazing time! Emily and Jess are terrific. Instructions were clear, materials plentiful and it was great that we were shown examples for inspiration. The venue is lovely, very airy and bright (I love the pink bathroom and disco ball!). Great choice of drinks, and very reasonably priced cocktails too! I will definitely be back for more sessions :)
  • 5/5 from Caitlin Brennan, attended Jun 2026: Such a great studio, nice vibe and friendly people whether you're on your own or with a friend
  • 5/5 from Davina Driver, attended Jun 2026: Wonderful three hours! Two very knowledgeable, kind and welcoming hosts, a calm and relaxed atmosphere with a drink of your choice included. I came away feeling very happy and inspired. Ready to attend more workshops! Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Anna de Freitas, attended Jun 2026: I was feeling a little creatively stunted, so thought I'd try my hand at a new craft! The Something Good team were so welcoming and Emily, the Workshop Facilitator, explained everything so clearly. This was a beginner class in Lino Block Printing and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Trying new things can be intimidating at times. This workshop was the opposite of that, and we were encouraged to find the beauty in our beginner mistakes. I loved it, and had a great time!
  • 5/5 from Mikhail Kulemin, attended May 2026: Amazing venue and great masterclass, relaxing and encouraging atmosphere. Highly recommend lino printing master class.
  • 5/5 from Elpida Giannakou, attended May 2026: I really enjoyed the workshop because considering it was only for 3 hours, in the end we managed to do a lot.. Apart from the sketches i managed to do carve 2 small linos, which surprised me as i had never done lino carving before. I also had time to print both of them with different colours. The teacher was really kind and the intro she gave us was very helpful and to the point. It was nice to experiment and not have too many expectations fromthe result as i feel everyone was there to try out, which made me feel comfortable..
  • 5/5 from Tiffany, attended Apr 2026: Was such a fantastic lino cut workshop - teaching excellent and well paced, high end materials and made it possible to be really explorative...all in a beautiful setting! I enjoyed the studio feel element and intimate group. Would highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Sophie Dubois, attended Apr 2026: We did lino block printing with Emily and had a fabulous time there. Emily was helpful and patient, the atmosphere was great, and the process was calming and therapeutic. We will definitely come back and try out some more workshops. We very much enjoyed the environment and how much we got done! We would highly recommend coming here to develop your creativity and taking back with you a handmade piece of artwork.
  • 5/5 from Izzy Schulte, attended Apr 2026: A really welcoming and fun class, it was great for beginners who had never done Lino printing or carving before. Three hours was a great time period to learn about the art, design, carve and print. The teacher was really knowledgeable and explained more complicated design ideas really well. Also really great to have a small square of Lino to practice cutting on before we started on the blocks!! Would definitely return to do more Lino printing here.
  • 5/5 from Assemblage Collective, attended Feb 2026: Lovely workshop with great guidance, materials and inspiration. The session length is really good and means you can totally immerse yourself in the process. Will be back, thank you!
  • 5/5 from Colette Whitehouse, attended Feb 2026: I really liked the venue, a lovely bright space with a calm and friendly vibe.

I very much enjoyed the workshop and hope to come back for other sessions!

Hi, we’re Emily and Jess, the creative minds behind Something Good Workshops!
Our journey began in 2019 when Emily launched Something Good Workshops (originally known as MADEptford) as a way to spread crafty joy and raise funds for running the London Marathon. What started as a one-time idea quickly grew into a passion for bringing people together through creativity. Since then, we’ve hosted a wide variety of workshops, from arm knitting to body casting, in all kinds of spaces - corporate offices, cosy pubs, pop-up shops, and even people’s homes.
After taking a short break, we’re back with fresh energy and an exciting new partnership. Jess has joined the team, and together, we’re on a mission to spark joy and empower people to explore their creativity in relaxing, welcoming spaces. We believe there’s something magical about slowing down, working with your hands, and leaving with something you’ve made yourself - whether it’s a chunky knit blanket, a personal shrine, or a collage bursting with personality.
What makes us unique? We’re all about creating an environment where people feel at ease, whether they’re a total beginner or a seasoned maker. Over the years, we’ve held workshops in so many different settings, and one thing always stands out: the joy people feel when they realize just how creative they can be.
We’re not just here to teach a craft - we’re here to help you unwind, have fun, and leave with a tangible reminder that you’re capable of making something good.
We can’t wait to meet you at a workshop soon!
