Engage with your creativity, get in the festive mood and have fun with this day of Christmas card printing!
Set in the cosy Retreat at Sculpture By The Lakes, we’ll spend the morning carving festive motifs and shapes from lino, learning valuable design and cutting techniques. In the afternoon, you’ll have time to arrange your motifs into bright and playful Christmas card designs and get stamping with fully light-fast pigmented inks.

All materials provided for printing 8 greeting cards and envelopes.
