PRINTING
PLANTS & POLLINATORS

Linoleum printmaking is the process of carving a design into a rubbery material to create a stamp, which is then rolled with ink and printed onto paper or other surfaces. In this workshop, students will explore the art of linoleum printmaking while celebrating the vibrant plants and pollinators of the Lewis Ginter gardens. Students will learn the essential steps of linocut printmaking, including drawing, transferring the design, carving, inking, and hand-printing. Open to all skill levels, this course allows participants to either create their own designs inspired by the plants and pollinators of the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden or trace from our curated collection of reference images. We’ll work with soft, easy-to-carve linoleum, ensuring the process is accessible and enjoyable for everyone. By the end of the workshop, students will create multiple hand-printed images of flora or fauna and will have the option to trade prints with classmates to make their own printed art collection.
