Lino Printing Workshop

Get creative with lino printing in this hands-on workshop for young people aged 11–17.

Guided by artist and illustrator Alex Williams, you’ll design and carve your own unique illustrated creatures and characters, inspired by the bold, quirky style of Scandi beast prints.

Alex will show you how to layer and print in bright, eye-catching colours, bringing your designs to life. Whether you’re into mythical beasts, strange hybrids, or your own original creations, this workshop is all about experimenting, having fun, and making bold, playful prints.

No experience needed! Alex will take you through each step, from sketching your idea to inking and printing. Come along and create something weird, wonderful, and totally unique!

About the workshop leader:

Alex Williams is a local artist and printmaker based in Wellington, Somerset. She makes bright and bold prints, paintings, and wall murals.

Alex loves colour and pattern and is inspired by richly decorated and historical ceramics, architecture, and bright florals, and often uses still life compositions in her work. Alex’s printmaking and drawing styles often consist of flat layers of bold colour which lends itself to using the jigsaw method to create prints.
