Annette reviewed: Linocut printmaking in Cornwall

"I had a lovely day with a friend yesterday in Olivia's class learning all about Lino cut printing. It was great fun selecting what we wanted to print, then actually having a go with our own lino cut. Olivia was patient, full of enthusiasm and encouraging. Happy for us to print off multiple prints in a variety of colours. I would definitely recommend attending one of her classes and would definitely attend another to learn more."

Gillian Ripley reviewed: Linocut printmaking in Cornwall

"It was an inspiring and informative lino printing workshop. Olivia's enthusiasm was shared amongst all the students regardless of whether they were beginners or experienced artists. Clear instructions were given with examples of previous students work, illustrating a range of printing techniques. The small group size enabled us all to receive individual attention and encouragement throughout. I came away full of new ideas,and keen to set up my own studio!"

AS reviewed: Linocut printmaking in Cornwall

"This is a wonderful course for anyone wanting to learn or further their skills in Lino printing. Olivia is well organised, interesting, informative and full of essential tips for turning your ideas into art. She also finds time to give 1-1 guidance when your work is at a tricky stage, or you need encouragement. Her courses are fun, inclusive and rewarding. I will be signing up for another one. "

Karen Harris reviewed: Linocut printmaking in Cornwall

"I attended a lovely class of 6 people where some of us were complete beginners, others had some experience. Olivia was attentive to all & she gave clear instruction with plenty of tips. By the end of the day I had finished a 2 colour linocut print, which has now fired me up to buy my own print supplies to pursue this new hobby from home. Also, Olivia very helpfully follows up this workshop with an email of a list of print suppliers. Highly recommend! "

"Such a lovely day immersed in creativity! Olivia was a brilliant teacher, she was extremely organised, helpful, inspiring, encouraging and knowledgeable.
