Life skills and interests
Step into the creative world of printmaking in a friendly and supportive space! Over five weeks, we’ll explore a variety of techniques, including lino and gel printing while playing with textures, layers, and imagery to bring our ideas to life. With guidance from our friendly and experienced Peer Worker, James and Recovery College Volunteer, we’ll enjoy hands-on demonstrations, experiment with different methods, and create our own unique prints. By the end of the course, we’ll have a small collection of work to take home and plenty of inspiration to keep creating! No previous experience necessary – just curiosity and a willingness to explore. All materials provided.
