Sicilian Summer Printmaking Workshop | Pink! | Sat 20 June | 10am-12pm

Join us for a thoughtfully curated, workshop where printmaking becomes a process of exploration, presence, and personal expression.

Guided through a carefully composed still life we will teach you the techniques that will inspire the essence of a Sicilian Summer, with these tools you will go onto explore print with repeat pattern making and citrus botanicals to bring that pop of Sicily to your prints.

Utilising relief printmaking techniques to create a repeat pattern, this will form the back drop to your Sicilian citrus centre piece.

Materials and mediums will be supplied to allow each artist to fully encompass their individual interpretations.

No one canvas will be the same as you learn to use the tools and techniques which can be developed into your own personal piece.

Through step-by-step guidance, each artist will be supported in learning the technical processes while being encouraged to experiment freely.

You'll be invited to respond intuitively, allowing your unique perspective to unfold through layered prints and evolving imagery.

This workshop balances structure with creative freedom, creating space for both skill-building and soulful exploration. You'll leave with a collection of artworks and a final piece that will reflect your individual printmaking journey and your time spent creating with us at Sketch Events & Socials—grounded, inspired, and creatively fulfilled.

*all materials are provided/included in your ticket price.

** Suitable for ALL levels (beginners to printmakers - this class is two hours of creative exploration for all to experience.

Tickets are £25 - buy one and / or find more information here.
