Beginner Lino Printing: Celtic Knot Stamps
August 15 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Beginner Lino Printing: Celtic Knot Stamps
Join us as we learn to carve our own lino stamps inspired by the Celtic and Pictish history of Forres. Using Celtic/Pictish reference images we will transfer or draw our own knots and then use lino to create some beautiful re-useable stamps. We will learn the basics of transferring, carving and printing with traditional Lino.
