"I have had great fun making my first linocut print, by following Michelle's online instruction course. I'm a complete beginner, so I was curious to see how linocut works.
The video guides for each lesson, and section of the development, were clear, and offered useful hints and tips. Following the practice advice of mark making with the tools was especially good to follow, as this then gave me the confidence to explore my own marks and patterns for my first print design.
The whole process was good fun, and I was really pleased that I finished with prints that I can now send as presents to friends.
I'm hooked and can't wait to have another go, and make some cards. The joy is that I can do this anytime and refer back to each lesson whenever I need to."

Things snowballed from there! I now sell my original linocut prints through my online shop, galleries and events. I have taught over 650 students through my online courses and linocut workshops in my York studio.
