Creative Arts at BackWoods
Lino Printing
Carve your own beautiful designs into a reusable printing block
Learn the technique of lino printing! You’ll learn how to carve your designs into a lino block safely and effectively. We then move on to colour mixing, inking up, and printing onto a range of papers. You can use your carved lino blocks to make cards, wrapping paper, tags, or simply gorgeous art prints to frame and hang on your wall. The lino blocks you make are yours to take home and use again and again.
Botanical Plaster Casting
Capture nature’s beauty in one-off plaster art works
Learn the art of botanical plaster casting to produce a gorgeously detailed one-off art piece for your home or garden. You will create a mould in your own design using natural elements from around our woodland site, then learn how to safely mix and pour the plaster to produce the cast.
This workshop will be inside and outside, so please dress accordingly. All materials and tools will be provided.
