Diana Woods-Humphery reviewed: Online Lino Printing Course with Oxford Linocut Workshops

"This course had been very well-prepared by Claire. She covered all the basics very thoroughly. She answered all questions patiently and informatively. It was only a shame that we ran out of time and could not quite complete a design."

Angela Houlston reviewed: Online Lino Printing Course with Oxford Linocut Workshops

"This was a most enjoyable course and a great way to learn something new. It’s really helpful to practice using my own equipment. Claire was a great teacher and has perfected the art of managing the online experience so you can see exactly what to do…probably better than face to face in fact! Thank you "

"Absolutely loved this workshop and I learnt so much. I would definitely recommend buying the tools Claire advises as mine didn’t quite cut it! 3 hours of total enjoyment went in a flash. Claire is a lovely friendly and extremely talented artist and teacher - a true inspiration. I would recommend this workshop and the follow up guide was a lovely touch too."

"Claire’s three hour course was very well organised so that we not only learnt a lot but had the opportunity to practice our new found skills. She made time to focus on our individual needs. Claire’s own work is beautiful to see and I felt lucky to be taught by someone so talented and proficient. She’s a delightful person too. "

"I really enjoyed the Lino cut workshop. Claire was very encouraging and inspiring, is obviously a very talented artist. She was able to pace the workshop in such a way that there was time to learn, time to have a go, and time to make a start on a Lino cut design. I liked the way Claire gave attention to us as individuals as well as taking us through the process together, step by step. By the end of the class I felt more confident in my ability to create some nice Lino cut designs."

"Had a lovely day at Claire's lino printing course yesterday. Great setting, great instruction and great company! I learnt a lot in a short time and have been inspired to continue experimenting with the techniques that Claire so expertly taught. Definitely one of the best 'art' courses i have attended. "

Philippa reviewed: Lino Printing Day with Oxford Linocut Workshops

"A really memorable course. Claire is very patient, calm and knowledgable. She took us through the various lino cutting techniques and helped as we all started our own designs. The end results were all fabulously individual and used so many of the techniques Claire had taught us. All taking place in a wonderfully rural studio setting with chickens running about outside! I will be back again, for sure."

Erica reviewed: Lino Printing Day with Oxford Linocut Workshops

"The course was perfectly structured for relative beginner to lino printing. Claire was really well organised, had everything set up when we arrived and kept the day flowing. She was helpful and supportive to individuals as well as keeping the group engaged. Some people had more illustrative experience than others but it really didn't matter as you could work to your own level. And the surroundings with Claire's amazing prints around you just further fed your wish to explore the subject further."

Sharon Phillips reviewed: Lino Printing Day with Oxford Linocut Workshops

"This was a very slick, enjoyable and professionally run course. Claire the tutor gave very clear instruction which then gave us the confidence for when it came to doing our individual pieces. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and would recommend to anyone with an interest in art & craft. Prior to this day I’d only ever done one linocut and that was 46 years ago at school. This course is suitable for complete beginners as well as people more experienced at Lino cutting. "
