Linocut Print Making
with Emily Robertson

Course Description

Over the course of this immersive five-day workshop, you will delve into the creative possibilities of linocut printmaking. Inspired by the beautiful natural setting of Rignana Estate, you’ll be guided by Emily as you develop and produce your own original prints. The surrounding landscape will serve as a starting point for observation, sketching, and experimenting with expressive mark-making, helping you to discover and refine your own visual language.

Emily will lead you through each stage of the linocut process, including developing ideas, transferring drawings, carving lino, mixing inks, and printing by hand. The atmosphere throughout the week will be relaxed and exploratory, with plenty of encouragement to experiment, take creative risks, and enjoy the process. Ongoing support, practical advice, and individual guidance will be available throughout the workshop.

Suitable for all levels of experience, this course offers both beginners and more experienced printmakers the opportunity to build confidence and expand their skills. You will leave with a body of your own printed work, as well as practical knowledge and techniques that can be easily continued at home. For those wishing to push their practice further, there will be options to explore more advanced methods such as multi-block and reduction printing, tailored to your interests and experience.
