Looking for fun things to do in Melbourne or expand your skillset? Join Emilie from Couleur for her beginner-friendly printmaking course and learn new skills while you get in touch with your creative side.
In this series of six weekday evening classes, Emilie will teach you everything to get started on your block printmaking journey!
You'll learn to carve and print with lino, vinyl, woodblock and rubber, all of which are part of the fun family of relief printmaking (big stamps). You'll learn how to add colour to our prints, by experimenting with reduction linocut, chine-collé and multi-plate prints. Finally, you'll print tote bags to discover the potential of textile printmaking with modular stamps creation!

Hi, my name is Emilie Walsh and I'm an artist and educator. I run Couleur, a small printmaking studio in Collingwood (Naarm/Melbourne). Come and learn block printmaking with me: my classes are fun, engaging and adapted to all levels!
I believe artists have a mission to engage, educate and spark joy and curiosity: Couleur is the perfect place to start learning printmaking and gain autonomy to print from home.
