"Claire is an excellent tutor whether you have had any experience of linocut or not. There is no doubt that you will leave with something you are very proud of. Her studio is a lovely space to be in. And she is incredibly gifted…her own work is beautiful to see. "

"I can certainly recommend Claire's online linocut workshops - she has managed to make them really enjoyable and fun as well as very informative. And she shared some of her inspiring work with great tips on the different techniques, tools, etc. Claire paced the time perfectly so we learned lots while not feeling overwhelmed. Many thanks Claire!"

Izzy Bee reviewed: Live Online Linocut Printmaking Workshop (private workshop for three)

"I booked an online workshop for my Mum's 80th birthday (for three people in total). Claire was fantastic in explaining everything clearly and was very patient. Her online set-up was brilliant for remote teaching. My Mum really enjoyed the workshop and was printing just this morning! I already had a little experience with lino cutting, but I learnt so much from this workshop that I now feel I'll be able to progress my skills using the knowledge that Claire shared. I'd recommend this workshop both for complete beginners and for those have dabbled before but not had any instruction."

"Claire was very welcoming to me even though I arrived on zoom 40 minutes late! Claire caught me up quickly and the was very good at explaining the Lino technique to a novice like me. Claires has a very clam and kind nature which is perfect for teaching a new skill especially over zoom! Thank you."

Julie Turnbull reviewed: Online Lino Printing Course with Oxford Linocut Workshops

"A great afternoon learning about linocut printmaking. An online workshop, Claire provided a really informative, creative and fun learning experience using two cameras including a close up of her working bench and hands so we could visually see very clearly the techniques she was using. The pace of the session was just right, with Claire offering support and advice throughout. A very relaxed environment, engaging and inspiring which, even as beginners, allowed us all to create some great work. I highly recommend!"

Caroline Penn reviewed: Lino Printing Day with Oxford Linocut Workshops

"Really enjoyed Claire's well-paced, supportive workshop. Her advice and instruction gave me confidence and inspired me to try linocutting again. She is very friendly, and the day was most productive, without my feeling too pressured. We all produced amazing-looking cards even though half the class had never tried linocutting before! A lovely day in a beautiful setting - and with Covid-safe measures."

Roz Donnelly reviewed: Lino Printing on Fabric Day with Oxford Linocut Workshops - Fabric Printing

"A beautiful setting for an excellent day's crafting! Claire had planned everything splendidly so each participant had all the tools/craft supplies needed to complete the workshop. There was a warm welcome for everyone and we all felt very comfortable - even though I am not artistic, I didn't feel awkward and really enjoyed trying to master the techniques so sensibly explained and demonstrated. My partner is much more artistic than I am and had done lino cutting in the past but enjoyed the day getting back into this craft. Claire managed to pitch things so that anyone from the complete novice like me to those with far more skill would all find the day useful and enjoyable. We would recommend Claire and her workshops highly."

"An excellent day. Everything was exceptionally well organized and the day went very smoothly with enough time to complete the tasks. Claire was encouraging and helpful. I came away inspired to continue lino cutting after I have invested in some equipment. Claire's booklet received after the course will serve as an useful reference for further work."

"Having recently attended the lino printing on fabric course, I can confirm that not only is Claire super-talented, but she is also an excellent teacher, patient and encouraging as well as knowledgeable. Class sizes are small, and the studio itself is spacious, all set in lovely surroundings. All in all, a lovely day spent creating, which I cannot recommend highly enough."

Gill Nye reviewed: Lino Printing on Fabric Day with Oxford Linocut Workshops - Fabric Printing

"Claire is a great artist but also an excellent teacher. The workshop was lovely and full of inspiration. The atmosphere she created made us all feel at ease and comfortable. Claire demonstrated clearly how to make various marks and supported us individually as we practiced and went on to design, cut and then print. The day was well paced and perfectly structured so we all ended up with end products to be proud of. I had a wonderful day. Definitely a ten out of ten experience."

Isabel reviewed: Lino Printing Day with Oxford Linocut Workshops

"Claire’s course was fantastic- so well organised with all the equipment needed at your fingertips. I have always wanted to learn lino printing techniques and Claire explained the various skills involved perfectly. Her own work is inspirational, and we were privileged to see examples of some of her amazingly detailed woodblocks and finished prints around the studio. I left wanting to learn and print more! A wonderful relaxing, creative day- I absolutely recommend this course."

Caroline Pinder reviewed: Lino Printing Day with Oxford Linocut Workshops

"A wonderful course. Claire's organisation and delivery of the course was excellent in every way. It was an enjoyable day from beginning to end, and I came home with lots of ideas for how to take forward this new skill. Her own artwork is amazing and inspirational - and aspirational, though that's a long journey ahead! I would recommend Claire's course for anyone wanting to learn the basics of lino cutting. It was also helpful that the day following the course sends out a complete set of notes and details of suppliers and other tips on getting started. I'm looking forward to attending future courses with Claire - perhaps Level 2 lino cutting?"

"Claire was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable on the subject. I really enjoyed the course and would highly recommend it. The only negative comment I have is that i would liked to have had another hour as this would have enabled me to choose and complete a more interesting design. Would definitely go again, thanks Claire"
