Wildly creative kids? Look no further.
In this playful printmaking workshop, young artists will design their own brilliant botanical and turn it into a set of colourful screenprinted cards. From spiky cacti to carnivorous flora, anything goes in this joyful session of plant-based printmaking.
Children will be guided step-by-step through the screenprinting process, learning how to turn a drawing into a stencil and print multiple bright, bold designs.
What we’ll do:
  • Dream up an imaginative pot plant
  • Cut a stencil from your design
  • Pick your favourite colours
  • Paint onto the screen
  • Pull four fabulous prints to turn into cards or mini artworks
All materials are included, and each participant will take home their finished prints along with cards and envelopes so their creations can be sent, gifted, or proudly displayed. You can also add a frame to make their potty plant a permanent resident in the hothouse.
The session is led by a professional printmaker and experienced teacher with a 5-star rating, with clear guidance and age-appropriate tools throughout.
This workshop helps children develop:
  • Drawing and design skills
  • Confidence with cutting and stencil-making
  • Colour choice and layering
  • An introduction to screenprinting (including safe use of a vacuum screenprinting table)
  • Exploring monoprinting and trying out different versions of a design
No experience needed—just imagination and a willingness to make a little creative mischief.

Believe it or not, print-making saved my life!
A few years ago, my life looked pretty normal: I was a Dad, a garden designer, and a keen walker. Suddenly everything changed. One day I simply couldn’t get off the sitting-room floor. I’d had a nasty bug and the next thing I knew: I was diagnosed with ME/CFS.
For a long time, things were pretty tough, but as the weeks passed, I began to discover painting and printmaking. And as the weeks turned to months I was making more and more art, and steadily feeling better.
Print-making was a refuge: a place to get better from. As I recovered my health I realised I wanted to share the magic of making things with other people; and the dream of Hope Press was born!
Everyone could do with more space in their life, more time for creativity, more peace and flow. I now run a variety of classes and workshops in printmaking – including a course for people with illnesses like mine – I hope you'll find something for you.
