Print Making Holiday workshop

Print, Press, Create – A tactile printmaking workshop for Kids

🎨 Looking for an inspiring school holiday activity that’s fun and hands-on? Enrol your child in Print, Press, Create – a printmaking workshop designed especially for kids aged 6+ who love to explore textures, colours, and creativity through art. This is a unique experience that will introduce children to the exciting world of mono and relief printing using materials. Totally safe and there is no carving involved! Using a variety of textures, and simple processes kids will learn to layer, press, and pull prints to create vibrant, original artworks.

🖐️ What’s the Workshop About?

  • Discover Printmaking Basics
  • Learn how printing works by creating patterns and images through pressing, layering, and lifting prints from textured surfaces.
  • Experiment with Materials
  • Children will use everyday objects including string, fabrics, and other textures to explore relief and mono printing techniques.
  • Create One-of-a-Kind Artworks
  • Every print is unique! Kids will build up colourful designs through experimentation and hands-on efforts.
  • Take Home a Personal Art Series

At the end of the workshop, your child will have a beautiful collection of prints to keep or share.

There’s no pressure for perfection so don’t expect it! This workshop is all about exploration, creativity, and having fun with the process.

🧠 Encourages Curiosity & Imagination

By working with textures and layers, kids learn how to think visually, experiment freely, and problem-solve.
All materials provided – just bring imagination and a creative spirit. If your child doesn’t have this, don’t worry, Siobhan does and is happy to give it!
The joy of printmaking – a fun, relaxed, and creative activity to enjoy.
