Celebrate Mother’s Day by crafting a sophisticated masterpiece to keep or give as a soulful, handmade gift.

Discover the art of visual storytelling through the rhythmic world of repeatable patterns. Drawing inspiration from architecture, heritage, and the natural world, this workshop invites you to weave your personal history into art.

Whether you bring your own meaningful motifs or find inspiration in our curated collection, you will explore advanced techniques like ghosting, embossing, and mirroring using a traditional printing press. By blending linocut blocks with mixed media and collage, you’ll create a layered final piece that speaks to your unique story.
