A big thank you to Marcel Saulnier for sharing his time, talent, and expertise with us at today's Layered Linocut Printmaking Workshop!
Participants had the opportunity to learn the fascinating process of creating multi-layered prints, from transferring designs and carving linoleum blocks to building colourful finished pieces. Marcel's patience, skill, and encouragement made for an enjoyable and inspiring afternoon.
We're grateful to Marcel for helping our community explore a new artistic medium and for generously sharing his knowledge with both new and experienced artists alike.
Thank you, Marcel, for a wonderful workshop! 🎨👏
We'd love to see your finished prints—feel free to share photos in the comments!
