Drawing the Garden: From Sketch to Print - 2 day workshop

In-person at my studio | 25–26 July 2026 | 10.30–4.30pm
Only 4 places available

Over two summer days, we’ll spend time drawing directly from my garden and then turning those drawings into prints in the studio.

On the first day, we’ll begin outside, drawing plants, flowers and whatever catches your eye. I’ll guide you through ways of simplifying what you see and making strong, clear drawings that will translate well into print. After lunch, we’ll come into the studio and experiment with transfer monoprint, using your drawings as the starting point.

On the second day, you’ll choose one of your drawings or monoprints and develop it into a linocut. I’ll show you how to adapt your image, carve your block, and print a small edition using traditional tools and techniques.

If the weather isn’t kind to us, we’ll work from carefully arranged garden cuttings and botanical setups indoors — the focus remains the same.

You’ll leave with finished prints and a clearer understanding of how to move from drawing to printmaking.

Beginners are very welcome. With just four participants, there’s plenty of individual support.

All materials provided.
Tea, coffee and homemade cake included.
