Through drawing, printmaking and mixed-media processes, children are encouraged to develop their own ideas, take creative risks and experience the satisfaction of making something from start to finish.

​

This studio-based workshop offers a calm, supportive space for children to work with real materials, develop practical skills and build confidence in their creativity.

​

For this workshop, children will be introduced to different printmaking techniques depending on their age and experience.

​

Older children will work with soft polymer lino, learning how to safely carve and create their own printing plates with guidance and close supervision.

​

Younger children will use cardboard and foam printing techniques, which allow them to explore the same ideas of design, pattern and layering without the need for carving tools.

​

This approach ensures that all children can take part in a way that is appropriate, safe and engaging, while still experiencing the creative process of printmaking.
