Festive Lino Printing Workshop & Curator Tour

Overview

Join artist Freya Horsley for a cosy, festive afternoon lino printing workshop inspired by the collections at Fairfax House. The session begins with a curator-led tour of the House, giving participants the chance to look closely and choose an item from the collection as the starting point for their own design. 
Working in a small group, Freya will guide you through drawing, carving, and printing your own lino design. The workshop is suitable for beginners as well as those with some experience, and all materials are provided.  
The afternoon includes a glass of prosecco (or tea/coffee).
