Printmaking workshops in York

An evening of carving, inking and printing in my studio.

Four hours, six people, tea and snacks, good music, and your own hand-printed work to take home. No experience needed. Just come curious.

I’m Jon Haste, a working linocut printmaker. My workshops are relaxed, hands-on evenings: you’ll design, carve and print your own linocut, using the same tools and methods I use for my own work.
