Creative session · Montmartre
Printmaking class in Montmartre.
You carve, you ink, you press, and pop: it prints. A little magic with every pull. You take it home, on paper or fabric. A printmaking and lino class open to all levels.
Why you'll love it
Printmaking is all about the gesture and the surprise. You draw a motif, carve it into lino, ink it, press: each print has its grain, its tiny imperfection that makes the charm. In 2 hours, we teach you carving and printing, and you leave with a set of unique prints.
What you can print
One motif, a series, on the surface you like:
- a tee or tote bag with your motif
- a poster to run as a series
- a personalised greeting card
- a set of prints to frame
How does a session work?
You draw your motif, then carve it into a lino plate with the gouges. We teach you the right move so you don't slip. Then we ink, press, and the motif prints: the magic moment. You can pull several copies, on paper or fabric. In two hours, you leave with your plate and a small series of prints.
Will someone actually help me?
Yes, and it's our favourite part. We grew up in artists' studios, so we share our best tips with you: the small moves that change everything, how to save a slip, when to stop. We explain everything when you arrive, then come by your table throughout the two hours. Everyone goes at their own pace, on their own idea, and we step in wherever you need us. The goal: you leave with something really beautiful, even if it's your very first time.
How much does it cost?
€30 for two hours, materials included. No membership, no card to buy: come once, pay on site. Drinks are extra, from the café menu. The only possible add-on is a bigger or fabric surface, and we offer it before you start.
Frequent questions
Is printmaking hard?
No, lino printing is the ideal way in. The move is quick to learn and every print has its charm, imperfections included.
What can I print on?
Your prints on paper or postcards are included in the price. Fancy printing on a tee or a towel? Available on site, as an add-on. Or bring your own fabric to print: a tote, jeans, a shirt.
Are materials included?
Yes: lino plate, gouges, ink and basic surfaces are provided.
I've never done lino printing, can I come just once?
Yes, that's the point. One two-hour session, no commitment, to discover lino printing as a complete beginner: plate, gouges, ink and press are provided, and we teach you the move. Book your arrival time online or drop in, and pay on site, €30 all in.
