Weekend Adults' Workshop - Linocut greetings cards

Glynn Vivian Art Gallery is running a linocut workshop on Saturday 28 November, where you'll make two-colour greetings cards. The session runs from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm, so it's a proper morning's work that gets you home well before lunch.

The cards you'll be making take their lead from the work of Alfred Janes, a Welsh artist whose prints are part of the gallery's collection. Rather than a single colour, you'll be working with two, which means you'll be carving and printing twice over to layer the colours on top of each other. If you've never tried linocut before, it's a tactile process: you carve your design into a linoleum block, ink it, and press it onto paper. Doing it in two colours adds a bit more to the challenge, but it's also where the real character comes through.

This is one of the gallery's Saturday workshops for adults, which are introductory classes for all levels of ability. They focus on a different material or technique every month, and the sessions draw their inspiration from the exhibitions and collections on display at the gallery. This one is for ages 16 and over, and all the materials you'll need are provided, so you don't have to turn up with your own kit.

Booking is essential, and the cost is £10, with a £5 concession. It runs from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm on Saturday 28 November at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in Swansea.
