Lino and wine on a boat (Portishead marina)

Welcome aboard the Portishead art boat where you can have fun making hand-carved lino cut cards, postcards, prints or bookmarks to adorn your home, or share as unique gifts. The session is a short introductory taster session into how linocut art prints are made in this private experience for two people.

You'll be working on the covered front deck of a 1970s ‘Caribbean cruiser’ in Portishead Marina. Your host, Barbara, an award winning artist and sculptor will have everything you need including inspiration, imagery, printing inks, soft cut lino blocks, art sponges and lino cutting tools. There are images of coastal birds to work from for a local seaside flavour if you feel inspired by your marina setting!

You’ll print onto high quality "Kent" printing paper or handmade recycled Indian "Khadi" paper & you can take the carved lino blocks home to continue your journey into the world of printmaking :)

If you would like to book other times/dates please contact Barbara, they can be arranged

Age restrictions: 16+
