Workshop Testimonials

A few words from people who have joined us for a workshop, either online or in person and tried Lino printing for the first time. We’re always rather chuffed to hear that people have enjoyed themselves, learned something new and, most importantly, had a lovely day making something by hand.

"Thank you for such an amazing day, I arrived a little nervous not knowing if I could produce anything worthwhile. Your gentle, relaxed encouragement had everyone at ease, chatting away .

I Loved it! Loved it all

Thank you ☺️"

  • "Thank you for such a comprehensive course Mark. I’ve dipped into other courses but none of them have given me the understanding that yours has. I’m thrilled with the improvements in my carving and printing skills and, because of the way you set up the course, I have the confidence to branch out into my own projects now. Thank you."

  • "I can honestly say that 'From Process to Print' is the best art course I’ve ever taken, and that’s saying a lot, having completed many courses over the years. This one stands completely apart."

  • "The workshop was really fun. I can‘t wait until we‘re home to open the box and start my next project."

  • "I finally have something to show after working through your course. It has been fabulous to have this incredible resource, especially because it was so easy to follow and understand what I needed to learn to be able to create the type of prints I was looking for."

  • "'From Process to Print' hasn’t just taught me a new skill, it’s given me confidence, excitement, and ability in a way no other course ever has. I couldn’t recommend it more highly, and I’m already looking forward to taking more courses in the future."

"I am blown away by your talent! I was drawn to your art because of the subject matter and your Lugger Blue Ink which is quite lovely. I love the idea that you could use your photographs of the scenery around you and turn them into linocut art. I jumped at the chance to purchase your course and have not been disappointed. It was like you pulled back the curtain and revealed the magician's magic tricks, a complete eye opener. You explain your process clearly and having the opportunity to carve alongside you has been priceless. Your projects were my very first attempts at linocut and I am very pleased with the outcome."

  • "Well - what  great day - thank you SO much, I really enjoyed and learnt so much.

    Bye for now and hope to come on another workshop in the future."

  • "Thank you very much for a wonderful workshop, it was one of the highlights of our visit to the UK. Greetings from Australia!"

  • "Good morning, Mark. Thank you very much for the brilliant workshop and for giving us a lift into town. I had an amazing stay in Cornwall."

"The teaching is exceptional. Mark is thoughtful and clear, explaining each step in a way that feels approachable and achievable, no matter your starting level. It’s a real privilege to be taught by such a talented lino print artist, his work is deeply inspiring and has brought me a lot of personal joy, which naturally feeds into the learning experience.

Nothing feels rushed or confusing, everything is carefully considered and delivered with clarity. What also makes a huge difference is how present and supportive he is throughout. Mark is always on hand via his WhatsApp group to answer questions, no matter how small, which creates a real sense of encouragement and momentum."

  • "The quality of the course content is outstanding. Every topic and subject is well chosen and builds naturally on the last, creating a learning experience that feels both structured and creatively freeing."

  • "The course has given me greater confidence with cutting and printing. I have loved the pace of the video learning and loved that I can work through the course when it suits me."

  • "I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my course so far, very enjoyable & I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the results. It’s very flexible, as you can go at your own pace & the group chat is very friendly, supportive & informative."

    • "I have completed the online course now and it has been fantastic. I have learnt much more than I expected to and have loved watching my own work develop as I progressed through it. I was unsure about doing it online at first but actually it works brilliantly, it lets you work at your own pace and go back into sessions when you need to. 

      I am officially hooked on lino printing now and really appreciate you sharing all your knowledge."
