My daughter took me along to Jen’s home for a linocut workshop yesterday. It was a relaxing afternoon and I came home with my own print and the confidence to make another myself. Thanks Jen for being such a lovely host
Jen was great. Relaxed, welcoming, encouraging and knowledgeable. Great idea for a present.
I really enjoyed the linocut workshop I attended at Jen’s. Not only were we given excellent tuition but we were treated to tea and a delicious scone. Jen clearly explained the process which enabled us to create personal pieces of art to take home. She also provided lots of information on techniques, materials and suppliers, which was followed up by email. It has definitely encouraged me to experiment further with linocutting.
Had a great afternoon. Jen was very knowledgeable and passed on her expertise brilliantly, answering all my questions. It was lovely to come away with a piece of artwork in a frame and share what I had done with others. Thank you Jen.
A really good introduction to lino cut. Jen was welcoming and extremely helpful, explaining each process and how to use the tools and ink. Excellent!
I had such a lovely afternoon at the Linocut Workshop. Jen was great at welcoming us, explaining the process and teaching the techniques, and then gave us space to have a go. She was always on hand to help and give advice. And being treated to her homemade baking during the workshop was an added bonus! Thanks so much Jen.
Jen came to my friends hen do in Staithes to do the lino art workshop. Her communication before the workshop was very clear, enthusiastic and efficient. The workshop itself was fantastic – it was very well organised but also had a lovely relaxed feel with no pressure – just the aim of enjoying the process. Although some of us less creative souls were a little apprehensive, Jen had a very good way of putting us at ease and has a natural talent for teaching. We thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and it is lovely to have the prints we created to take home. Having the tea and scones served to us while we were making our creations was a lovely touch and very much appreciated 😁
Really enjoyable 2 hours. Jen made sure she spent time with everyone who needed help. Lots of tips for newbies like me and we all came out with linocut prints to flaunt…and there was coffee and cake to boot! Cafe No.3 a lovely venue as well
I really enjoyed the lino session last night. Lovely way to spend an evening. Jen was very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you.
Most enjoyable morning, Jen explained everything clearly and calmly. Really pleased with my end result, the red dragons look great. Oh, and the cream tea scones were delicious!
It was a delightful time. Jen had all the materials ready for us, and her workshop ran smoothly and well. It was a great opportunity to chat with others and watch their amazing creations being carved and printed. I greatly enjoyed the carving process and found it very relaxing and satisfying. Altogether a delightfully different evening and I would definitely consider doing other workshops that Jen might offer.
