Print Your Own Seasonal Cards – Two-Colour Lino-Cut Workshop
In this relaxed, hands-on lino-cut workshop you’ll design, carve, and hand-print your own set of beautiful cards.
In this 3-hour session, you’ll be guided through the process of creating a simple two-colour lino print. You'll learn the principles of two-colour reduction - using one block to layer two colours.
Put your new skills to work to produce 10 cards, plus envelopes, to take home. Think flowers, leaves, birds, eggs, or any spring motif that inspires you.
This workshop is beginner-friendly — no previous art or printmaking experience needed. The pace is gentle and supportive, with plenty of guidance throughout. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, and encouraging, making it as much about enjoying the process as creating something lovely.
By the end of the class, you’ll have your finished cards and a set of printmaking skills you can reuse for future projects. It’s a mindful, satisfying way to spend a few hours and connect creatively with the changing season.
All Hope Press classes take place in our beautiful studio in Bollington, located in the historic Adelphi Mill. The studio is light, warm and comfortable, designed to be a calm and welcoming space to make art. It is fully equipped for printmaking, with a range of high-end equipment including etching presses and a screen-printing table. Tea and coffee-making facilities are available, with space to rest and take a breather whenever needed.

Thank you Ben.

  • 5/5 from Nola McGaul, attended Feb 2026: The class was very enjoyable; I hadn’t tried lino cut printing before and it was a good introduction- I learnt a lot and am encouraged by Ben to try more. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere; six of us - just right to use the space and learn from the others as well. Look forward to attending another course by Ben. Ps Ben made everyone a cup of tea which was very welcome.

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.
