Young JW3 Craft Café: Lino Printing

Young JW3’s crafternoon series continues with this joyful lino printing social.

Lino printing is a hands-on form of relief printmaking, where you carve a design into a linoleum block, roll ink onto the raised surface, and press it onto paper or fabric to create a print. This simple yet satisfying technique lets you produce multiple copies of your artwork.

No art experience needed — just come as you are, enjoy a hot drink and a pastry, and get creative in great company.
