What will I learn?

Pinot and Picasso are a new local paint and drink venue in Leeds and are hosting their first pop up in Leeds with us! 

During the workshop you will be guided through the process of painting a replication (or interpretation) of a piece called ‘Plants Over People’ a colourful plant based piece.

During the workshop you will be using tools to draw into ink and remove areas of light to build up a picture. Niamh prefers to use a photo of places she’s been, or some sketches that she’s taken on location. So choosing a place or taking some photos on a walk could fuel your inspiration. You’ll then take a print of the drawing by pressing down some paper over it, which you’ll be able to take home with you!

If you like local makers markets, children’s craft sessions and Neapolitan-style pizza then you’re going to love our Night Market!

Local creatives and independent businesses will be taking over our garden so you can browse over a pint or two .

Interested in having a stall with us? Please contact esme@superfriendz.com

Book your tickets for this fun filled evening where you can sketch the cutest models around!

We’ll have a well behaved pooch for you to sketch, all materials will be provided on the night.

Please note – If you have a dog yourself please don’t bring them along, we don’t want our model to get jealous!

Printing a linocut jigsaw style is an easy way to print a design in multiple colours. You cut the lino block into pieces, ink them up separately, then put the lino block back together to print.

Your tutor will guide you through designing an image for the jigsaw printing method. You will also be shown how to carve the lino block, apply the inks, and print it – both with our traditional Albion relief printing press, and burnishing by hand. You will be shown examples of lino prints made using this method, and advice on the kind of designs that work best.

This workshop will introduce you to a version of collograph which uses relief inking methods to produce prints using our fantastic range etching presses and equipment in the print workshop. You’ll use oil based inks, stencils, collage and textures to create an exciting series of prints. This is a great introduction to the collograph technique.
