Join renowned, local botanical artist Lisa Howard at one of our Trough at the Distillery workshops. Following the success of Lisa’s copper foiling workshops at the distillery in A/W 2025, we are delighted to welcome her back to facilitate a range of workshops as part of our S/S 2026 series.

Create your own spring flower inspired designs for cards, gift tags, fabrics and more.

Taking seasonal flora and fauna as inspiration you will carve your own designs on

block mounted lino with expert guidance from artist Lisa Howard. You will then hand

print your designs in repeating patterns on handmade Himalayan Lokta paper.

Lino blocks are more robust than lino sheets and can be printed over and over again

so you can create repeating patterns in endless combinations. A selection of earth

toned printing inks will be provided to make your designs even more individual.

At the workshop you will create two lino blocks that can be used in combination or as

two separate designs. Your favourite print from the workshop will be mounted onto a

greeting card for you to gift or keep and you can create as many hand printed items

as you like from fabric designs to gift wrap with your lino blocks at home.
