Creative Christmas-themed lino printing workshop held in two sessions at Worthing Homes Community House.
Christmas Lino Printing - Session 1 kicks off at Worthing Homes Community House on Friday 6 November, from 10:00am to 12:00pm. It's a creative workshop with a Christmas theme, and as the title suggests, this is just the first part of a two-session course. If you've never tried lino printing before, it's a relief to know you're not expected to get it all done in one morning.
For the uninitiated, lino printing is a form of relief printing. You take a sheet of linoleum, carve your design into the surface with a small gouge, and then roll ink over the top. The parts you've cut away stay white, and the parts you leave alone take the ink, so when you press it onto paper, you get a crisp, hand-printed image. Because it's a Christmas theme, it's a good chance to make your own cards or gift wrap rather than buying the usual shop-bought stuff. The first session is where you'll do the carving, and the second is when you'll actually print your designs.

The workshop runs at Worthing Homes Community House, 25 Dominion Road, BN14 8JZ, in Worthing. It's a morning slot, 10:00am to 12:00pm, so it's one of those things you can fit in before lunch without it taking over your whole day. Since it's split across two sessions, you'll have time to get your carving right without rushing it, and you'll leave the first morning with your block ready to go. If you're planning to join in, just keep in mind that this is Session 1, and you'll need to come back for the second part to finish the prints.
