"I attended one of Michelle's beginner linocut workshops in her lovely home studio. Michelle is a really supportive and encouraging teacher who gives you the confidence to develop your design, even for someone like me who can't draw! She makes everything seem straightforward, and I came away feeling proud of the print I'd produced.
It's a small group, and the workshop is well-paced, so you always feel there is time for you to ask questions and get the help and advice you need. It was a really creative, relaxing and enjoyable day, and Michelle creates a very welcoming atmosphere - the homemade cake helps too! I'd recommend her courses to anyone who would like to try out a new craft."
About your teacher
Hello, I’m Michelle Hughes, a professional linocut artist in York, UK. I started lino printing on a shoestring, spending about £20 on beginner's lino tools and materials. Things snowballed from there! I now sell my original linocut prints through my online shop, galleries and events. Since 2017, I have taught over 1,000 students through my online courses and linocut workshops in my York studio.
