Wildlife Inspiration & Two-Block Printing
This workshop celebrates the wildlife and changing landscapes that inspire so much of my own artwork. Whether you’re a complete beginner or keen to explore a new technique, I’ll guide you step-by-step through the process. We’ll begin by looking at inspirational spring wildlife images (including some of my own pieces) to spark ideas for your own design.
You’ll learn how to create beautiful prints using the two-block lino printing technique—perfect for adding colour, depth, and a touch of spring magic to your artwork.
