Engage with your creativity, get in the festive mood and have fun with this day of Christmas card printing!
Set in the cosy Retreat at Sculpture By The Lakes, we'll spend the morning carving festive motifs and shapes from lino, learning valuable design and cutting techniques. After lunch, you'll have time to arrange your motifs into bright and playful Christmas card designs and get stamping with fully light-fast pigmented inks.
You'll be kept warm by the woodburner, overlooking a beautiful view from which you can draw inspiration.
You'll leave feeling uplifted from a day of working mindfully with print, with some newly carved stamps you can continue to use at home.
All materials provided for printing 8 greeting cards and envelopes.
10.30 am - 4 pm, entry to the park is included. Tickets are £70 per person.
Places are limited, tickets available to purchase on the Sculpture by the Lakes website.
