Learn new skills and create beautiful artwork at our upcoming lino printing class in Warrington. Guided by experienced artist Kirsty Hall, you'll learn everything you need to know to get started with this rewarding hobby.

Over three relaxing hours, you'll create beautiful lino prints. We'll begin with an introduction to the equipment, before taking you through the techniques needed to carve, ink, and print a simple lino block.

You'll be encouraged to either explore your ideas for your design or take inspiration from the source material provided. If you're a complete beginner, no problem. You don't need to be confident with drawing to achieve great results with lino!

Throughout the class, you'll explore printing using a range of colours and take home a variety of designs to admire. This is a great workshop to do with friends or on your own for a chilled afternoon. We'll help you gain knowledge and skills in a relaxed, fun, and welcoming atmosphere. At the end, you will have a lovely lino print to hang in your home.

The Fox Studios
The Fox Studios


I set up The Fox Studios so that I had a bricks and mortar place in Warrington, where I could teach my passion, jewellery. I had been planning this for some time (around 3 years), before I went ahead and took the plunge. I chose Warrington for a few reasons, it's my home town, it's quite central (directly between Liverpool and Manchester) and because, well, where else would I set up jewellery classes?

I have been creative for as long as I can remember. When I left school I couldn't decide whether I wanted to do Fashion or Fine Art. I chose Fashion. I'm not quite sure why. It was an experience, and I enjoyed the journey, but I'm not sure I'm very fashionable. I have continued to sketch and paint, and have done so for many years. Due to a big life change in 2000, I started an evening class in jewellery and silversmithing and I can quite safely say I was hooked. I eventually went back to University as a mature student and finished my degree in 2008. A few short months later I was back teaching on the evening class where I'd first picked up the bug and it turned out I loved teaching.

I've been a jeweller for around 20 years now. I never expected to become a teacher, but it's something I really enjoy (and I hope it's something I'm good at, students do keep returning). I try to tailor the learning experience to the individual student, so that you can get the most out of the course.
