Bring an apron or wear old clothes.
Bring some pictures to work from (detailed advice will be sent)

Think about how you will transport the prints or cards home. The will be touch dry but would benefit from being kept separate until fully dry.
Yes!
But we don’t want to make direct copies of other artists work, so if you are using an image to trace, it should be thought of as a jumping-off point for your own work.
Bear in mind that the image you intend to use will need to be the correct size for the piece of Lino (more details upon booking)
