"Absolutely wonderful day with Annette learning all about linocutting!
I had bought a kit and done a bit of experimenting myself but there's nothing that compares to sitting down with an artist and learning from their decades of experience. Annette is a fantastic teacher and really took the time to understand what I wanted to work on and the areas where I wanted to develop my skills.
We had a great day focusing both on techniques and the all important lessons in how to get a good print when you've finished with the carving. I was able to make four small blocks for repeat printing on wrapping paper, and one larger block of a butterfly which we worked on for single prints.
I loved being able to try different techniques like multi-layer prints which I wouldn't have come across otherwise, they came out really well!
It was great to use her printing press which of course gives much better results than hand-pressing.
Definitely recommend the course, Annette's knowledge is vast and she's incredibly helpful in pointing you towards tools, equipment and resources to ensure you can keep on printing when you get home!"

"Thanks Ruth. Am glad you enjoyed the workshop. Happy printing. "
"I booked two separate days during my summer holiday and thoroughly enjoyed my course with Annette. I had experimented by myself beforehand, but Annette taught me lots of techniques and passed on invaluable advice about equipment, paper and inks. Time flew by as we chatted like old friends, but there was plenty of time for printing my designs and I left with several decent prints and the knowledge to continue when I get home. Highly recommended!"
Annette Rolston responded:
"Delighted to teach you through my experience and training. Enjoyed your company and look forward to seeing your future prints."
"An excellent day. We really enjoyed the session and learnt so much. Annette was welcoming, patient and helpful. Thank you "
