What you'll do

Have you ever wanted to learn about lino printing? Well, now you can with this Sydney workshop!

In this class, your teacher, Elaine will teach you how to carve your own drawing or design onto a lino block, and then hand print it using simple household tools. This way you can print at home without a press!

You will get to carve up to two small blocks (15cm x 10cm each) and print as many as you can in the time we have together. You can take your blocks and prints home at the end of the workshop.

All workshop materials will be provided, which means all you need to do is show up with a couple of your best friends.

The best part? You don't need any previous experience! This is a fun and creative class where you can learn lino printing with ease.

Elaine is an artist/printmaker with over 17 years of experience. Her work aims to be a direct expression of her dharma practice, investigating our relationship to change, impermanence, receptivity, and emptiness, through teachings from nature.

Formally trained as a printmaker, Elaine also makes watercolours from respectfully foraged, natural pigments.

Deeply influenced by her time living and working in Oakland, CA in 2009, followed by 10 years living and working in New York, Elaine’s artistic practice is fiercely oriented around a grassroots approach. Building small, collaborative communities and liberating one’s creativity from a reputation economy, are core tenets to her ethos of art as a process of care and service.

Whether she is investing in long term, collaborative relationships, or slow, material processes made by hand, Elaine prioritises depth of connection as her primary marker of cultural impact.
