Discover the art of botanical lino printing in this inspiring one-day workshop. Guided by artist Di Smith, you’ll explore drawing and design techniques, learn how to prepare and carve lino, mark making techniques and experiment with printing methods.
You will have access to the Chatsworth cutting garden to pick fresh flowers to inspire your designs and by the end of the day you will have created an edition of beautiful botanical prints to share or keep.
No prior experience is necessary as our tutor will guide you through each step of the process. Suitable for ages 18 and above.
Refreshments and meeting place
Each day includes complimentary access to the Chatsworth garden, refreshments and a delicious locally sourced graze box lunch from the Chatsworth Farm Shop.
Please meet at the top garden gates (near the Stables) at 9:50am for a 10am start.
Accessibility
The workshops will take place in the Old Potting Shed, which is a step-free, accessible venue located just inside the Chatsworth Garden. If you have any questions about accessibility or require an essential carer ticket, please email education@chatsworth.org.
There is an incline into the cutting garden and some steps to get into the raised beds. A member of the team can assist when collecting flowers if you have mobility concerns. We will be spending some time in the cutting garden so recommend long trousers and no open toed shoes.
