Public printing workshops - children and adults

We host a regular programme of public printmaking workshops across East Kent that are open to everyone – no previous experience required!

Our workshops are designed to be welcoming, hands-on, and enjoyable for all ages, whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to explore new techniques.

From seasonal lino printing workshops for adults, where you’ll learn how to carve and print your own designs, to nature-inspired printing sessions, each workshop is a chance to slow down, get creative, and make something truly unique.

We also run a fantastic selection of children’s print workshops during school holidays, ideal for keeping curious minds engaged and inspired. These sessions are packed with fun, mess-free (ish!) creativity and are a great way for children to explore art through the natural world.

Workshops are held at friendly local venues, and all tools and materials are provided – just bring your imagination and get ready to make your mark!
