Create meaningful, hand-printed gifts in this 4-week linocut printmaking class with artist Lisa Leskien.
Learn to design and carve your own soft blocks, then print your designs on a variety of giftable surfaces. By the end of the class, you’ll take home a printed set of cards, a roll of wrapping paper, four ornaments, and a small tote bag, along with the skills and inspiration to create endless hand-printed treasures.
Whether you’re making keepsakes for loved ones or exploring new ways to share your creativity, this workshop offers a playful and meaningful approach to printmaking.
No experience is necessary—just bring your creativity! All materials are provided!
Lisa Leskien is an artist on the loose. She specializes in stylized, representational oil paintings, as well as linocut and woodcut prints that reflect the wonder she sees in everyday life. Using bold mark-making, thick “juicy” paint, and highly exaggerated colours, her pieces are full of life and movement. Lisa’s enthusiasm for the creative process is infectious—something she shares not only through her art, but also as an art instructor at Agnes, The Hive Studio, ArtNoise, and The Senior’s Centre in Kingston. She teaches a range of classes including beginner and intermediate painting, landscape and still life painting, printmaking, crochet, and arts workshops. Her work can be found on Instagram at @lisa.on.the.loose
