Linocut Eraser Printing Workshop
📍 Allagash Bungalow — Scarborough
🗓 February 18
6:00–7:30 PM

Join us for a relaxed, hands-on printmaking workshop at Allagash Bungalow! In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn how to carve your own linocut design using soft eraser blocks and turn it into a repeatable stamp.

Once your design is carved, you’ll print it onto two cotton tea towels, creating functional, one-of-a-kind pieces to take home (or gift). We’ll cover basic carving techniques, simple composition ideas, and printing tips so you leave with something you’re genuinely proud of—no experience needed.

The instructor, Cleo, has her BFA in art education with a focus in printmaking. Her favorite form of printmaking is woodcarving- a sister process to linocut. She will break down the basics of block printing, but this class is also great for if you have attended one of our past linocut classes. There are ways to always build off of what you have already learned.

All tools and materials are provided, including carving tools, inks, and tea towels. Just bring your creativity (and maybe a drink from the bar 🍺). Tea towels are also a great size for napkins.

✨ Perfect for a creative night out, date night, or trying something new with friends.

Details:

  • Beginner-friendly, step-by-step instruction

  • Print on two tea towels

  • All materials included
