Explore linocut printmaking in this hands-on class with Brooklyn artist Heejung Cho. You’ll start by drawing an image, transfer it to a lino block, carve it, ink it, and make a series of hand-pulled prints on paper.

This linocut printmaking class in Brooklyn is open to all levels and beginner-friendly, whether you’re trying printmaking for the first time or returning to the process to make something new. Heejung will guide you through each stage while giving you room to experiment and develop your own visual approach.

By the end of the class, you’ll leave with multiple finished prints and your carved lino block, which you can use again to make more prints on your own. Keep your prints, frame them, or make extras to give to friends and family. The class takes place in a relaxed, creative Brooklyn space with spacious work areas and comfortable lounge seating.
