Student Showcase: lino printed Christmas cards

ByCrafts for Wellbeing

I had such a great morning at Newcastle Carers showing a lovely group how to create lino printed Christmas cards. I took in a selection of designs to work from, and once I’d shown everyone the basics, everyone added their own little touches to the designs and made them their own. Everyone was able to print up a batch of greetings cards to take home with them. Shown above is a ‘group photo’ showing one of each participant’s cards, aren’t they wonderful?

Thanks so much to Newcastle Carers for inviting me, it was a fun morning and I loved what everyone created. I’m looking forward to coming back soon. Fantastic work, everyone!
