Beginner Printmaking Workshop with Goldie Higgins

Join Gqeberha-based artist Goldie Higgins at Chat Noir for a beginner-friendly introduction to lino cutting and printing.

In this 2.5-hour hands-on workshop, participants will be guided through the basics of lino design, carving, inking, and printing. Each participant will create and take home their own carved lino block and finished hand-printed lino print.

Goldie Higgins is a Gqeberha-based artist and creative facilitator whose practice moves across painting, printmaking, ceramics, and other tactile craft processes. Known for her experimental, hands-on approach, she enjoys exploring a range of materials and techniques, and is equally passionate about making, learning, and teaching.

We will be using carving tools. There is a risk of cutting your self.

What’s included:

• All materials and tools needed for the workshop
• Coffee and water
• Your own carved lino block and finished print to take home

What to bring:

• A good attitude
• Old clothes or an apron, as ink can get messy
