Make it with Marmalade 2 – week Cards for Christmas course

In our mass produced, digital age, this short Relief Printmaking course will show you how to use traditional Linocutting techniques with confidence, so that you can create and hand print your own unique and personalised cards that will be kept and appreciated long after Christmas.

Join us over two consecutive Saturday mornings in December, from 10am to 1pm, to learn how to linocut in single and multiple colours and how to develop eye-catching and original designs for your own Christmas cards. By the end of the course, you will have printed an edition of at least five unique cards to keep, sell or send to your friends for Christmas, which they will really treasure. You will also have given yourself the very valuable gift of some time to yourself, where you can unwind and discover your own creativity in a sociable, relaxed and friendly environment.

No experience is necessary to take part in this course as complete beginners will be able to create cards they will be proud of. Young people over 16 years are very welcome, if they can bring a well-behaved adult with them! So, you may like to gather some friends or family to bring with you, for you all to enjoy a relaxing, unusual, pre- Christmas activity together.

Here’s what Jen said about her class last Christmas

“The linocut Christmas card course was brilliant and we all enjoyed learning how to experiment with the printmaking process to make our own designs. Al was a super teacher and the cakes were lovely.”

Our price includes all materials, homemade refreshments (perhaps your first mince pie of the season?) tea, coffee and a well-earned glass of something bubbly on your last day, to get you fizzing with early Christmas cheer.

Class size is limited and we only have four spaces left, so to avoid disappointment, we advise early booking to secure your place on this popular course.
