❤️🔥 Lino printing with Red Art Club ❤️🔥
Our lino workshop includes an introduction to lino printing, etching your own lino stamp and printing your stamp onto paper.
For this session we will be drawing from still life and transferring our artworks onto a lino block. You’ll leave with your own unique lino block stamp with prints of your stamp on cartridge paper.
You’ll also be able to reuse your lino block stamp after the class. It can be used to stamp T-shirts, tote bags, notebooks, gift cards- anything that has a thick surface so that the ink stays in place and doesn’t transfer through. Previously our students have used their prints from the class as gifts or as birthday cards 🥳
Our instructor for our lino printing class will be Nikolas (he/him) who is a professional artist and specialises in lino printing.
We will also give you aftercare instructions with links to all the materials that you’ll need to continue creating your own lino prints outside of our classes 🎨

❤️🔥 Who are we? Red Art Club was founded in April 2022 by a small group of socialist artists. We create a space for absolutely anyone to explore and develop their artistic practice. Our classes are priced below the threshold of any other art class in London while still giving access to professional instructors and the best art materials. We also exclusively host our classes in arts institutions to help contribute to building the art community around London.
London is a lonely place and being an artist can be even lonelier. Red Art Club was set up to create a community that empowers each other to create beautiful art and a more beautiful, friendly, inclusive, welcoming future for society.
Follow us on instagram @redartclub_ to keep up to date with our upcoming classes, we also anticipate on starting art gallery meet ups for anyone who doesn’t have someone to go to an art gallery with.
On top of lino printing workshops we run weekly life drawing classes and monthly sculpture classes at the Omnibus Theatre, Clapham Common as well as monthly life drawing speed dating events in partnership with the 💘 Thursday dating app 💘
