If your favorite part of Valentine's Day is giving your loved ones thoughtful notes of affection, you'll love this Galentine's printmaking class in Chicago! In this workshop, you'll make handmade cards with your gals and pals.
This is a fun and creative Galentine's activity where you can get crafty, festive, and spend time with the people you love. In this class, you'll learn how to print your cards using the linocut technique. This is a great and simple technique that allows you to easily mass-produce your beautiful handmade cards so you can pass them out to all your loved ones!
  • Learn the fundamentals of lino-printing, from drawing and carving your image to inking and printing.
  • Create: you can choose to do a larger lino cut or a few smaller ones that you can use as stamps. The smaller ones will be great to use for the inside of your card.
  • Bring your own images for inspiration, but don’t worry if you don’t have any. Plenty of inspiring images and ideas will be provided.
  • Have a great time! Lino-cutting is a very forgiving medium, so whatever you make will look great!

  • 5/5 from Kaitlin Kisel, attended Feb 2025: The owner (and instructor of our class) Emily was great! Our group had such a fun time hanging out while creating our prints. From start to finish the instruction was clear and help was given throughout. Everyone in our group was so excited with our finished product (we made linocut stamps and turned them into Galentine’s day cards!)
  • 5/5 from Melyssa Andres, attended Oct 2024: We had so much fun! Overall it was a great experience and everyone in our group finished their piece with no difficulties.
  • 5/5 from Alyx Garcia, attended Jun 2024: Awesome! My friends and j went there for my birthday and it was so fun!!
  • 5/5 from Megan McDonald, attended Feb 2024: It was such a great craft learning how to carve our own lino stamp! Went with a group of friends and many of us were worried we wouldn't be very successful in creating a good stamp, but the teacher (and owner of the shop) did a great job of walking us all through and setting us up to be successful It was great and all our stamps turned out awesome, and we were able to bring in snacks and drinks. Would 100% do it again.
