Linocut Printmaking 101
You Don't Have to Be an Artist. You Just Have to Show Up.
You've built the deck. You've sent the email. You've optimized the thing.
Now come cut something with a knife.
This is a linocut printmaking workshop for people who make things for a living but are looking for an excuse to make things with their hands. You'll leave with a print, a new skill, and at least one conversation you didn't expect.
No artistic experience required. Come ready to create. We'll handle the rest.
What to expect A 2-hour session with artist and author Amber Byfield (Wisdom at Play) and Nicole Stump (Stumped by Nature) at a private workshop in Austin. Small group. Real tools. Snacks.
