Student Showcase: chine collé lino printed Christmas cards

ByCrafts for Wellbeing

I’ve had a fantastic day teaching chine collé lino printing to a lovely group at Breathing Space in Witton Gilbert. I always love teaching at Breathing Space, it’s such an amazing place filled with the best people!

These are just a small selection of the Christmas cards that were produced today. As you can see, we spread around the church to dry off our greetings cards, even drying them on the pews!

Thanks so much to Breathing Space for having me again. Your lino cut cards were all fantastic, there will be some great cards going through the post this Christmas!
