    Two separate two-day printmaking workshops at Handprinted

    I’ll be teaching two separate two-day workshops at Handprinted, running back-to-back in August.

    Linocut workshop: Thursday 20 – Friday 21 August 2026
    Experimental printmaking workshop: Saturday 22 – Sunday 23 August 2026

    The linocut workshop focuses on reduction and multi-block techniques, guiding you through the process of developing and printing a small edition.

    The experimental printmaking workshop is more open and fast-paced, working across linocut, monoprint and drypoint. You’ll explore techniques such as stencil, transfer and chine collé, and produce a varied series of prints.

    Both workshops are rooted in drawing, using your sketchbook as a starting point, and are suitable for beginners as well as more experienced printmakers.

Testimonials

  • Sam is a deeply knowledgeable and encouraging tutor who is skilled in conveying key concepts in a clear and engaging manner.

    While remaining respectful of attendees' skill levels,  she was able to foster a challenging but achievable pace in my workshop which ensured participants gained the greatest value from their time.  I spent my evening on a high,  thrilled by the results of our time together.

  • I learnt lots at the Experimental Printmaking workshop - a fun and informative 3 hours in which Sam taught several techniques allowing time for surprising and pleasing results to emerge!

    My previous printmaking experience was some monoprint with just a bit of linocut, but Sam’s teaching and encouragement meant I felt able to participate fully. I gained knowledge and inspiration from this workshop and have continued to experiment since. Highly recommended!

  • Sam’s workshops are so refreshing! Such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, great for inspiring creativity in a relaxed environment.

    The small group setting means you get plenty 1-2-1 tutoring time, as well as group discussions & feedback, and Sam’s knowledge and enthusiasm really shines through. The workshops are well-paced; it’s easy to keep up with Sam’s teaching and there’s no sense of pressure or urgency in trying to complete exercises. Would (and do!) highly recommend Sam’s workshops!
