Learn a traditional technique to design and create your own hand-printed wallpaper. This course was devised as part of this term’s theme of Slow Craft and learning art and craft skills of the hand made. You are invited to join artist Zoe Gibson for this six-week course to design and create beautiful lino print wallpaper that you can decorate a small area of your home with.  

No experience necessary, suitable for beginners or those who have experience in printmaking. All tools provided. Limited amount of wallpaper available to fit with available course time.
