After a bit of experimenting, I came up with the tutorial below. It uses craft foam instead of lino and relies on impressions rather than carving to create detail. It’s proof that printmaking doesn’t have to be complicated.   <<JUMP TO INSTRUCTIONS>> But first… WHAT IS...

But every now and then a new workshop idea comes along and I need to make up samples to photograph. I’ve got a collaboration with Westwell Wines coming up in March 2026 and I thought...
