Carve out a little calm and watch your ideas press into something beautifully tangible! In this linocut printmaking class in San Francisco, you’ll slow down, pick up simple carving tools, and shape your own design into soft linoleum blocks. Then comes the magic: inking your carved surface and running it through a lino printing press to reveal bold, expressive prints on paper or clothes. The rhythm of linocut is steady and grounding, making it one of those mindful activities that feels both creative and restorative.
Your workshop is guided by Nina Nathan, whose background blends art, intuition, and healing work. She holds the studio as a welcoming space for exploration, play, and personal growth. As you carve and print, you’re encouraged to trust your instincts, follow your curiosity, and let your ideas unfold at their own pace. The atmosphere is warm and supportive, with zero pressure to “get it right.”
You’ll learn essential linocut techniques, print multiple copies of your artwork, and leave with pieces you’re proud to share. If you’re searching for unique things to do near San Francisco or a hands-on printmaking class that helps you reset and reconnect, this creative escape is ready for you.

Hi! I’m Max, the founder of Match & Melt Craft Bar in San Francisco. I created this studio as a welcoming space where people can slow down, get creative, and connect through hands-on experiences.
At Match & Melt, we host intimate, guided workshops like candle making, pyrography, sculpture, printmaking, woodworking, rug tufting, and other DIY crafts. Our classes are beginner-friendly and designed to be relaxed, social, and memorable. Our space is perfect for date nights, birthdays, team building events, or simply trying something new.
The studio is a bright, bohemian-style space in the NOPA area, set up to feel inspiring but approachable. We focus on high-quality materials, small group sizes, and creating an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable exploring their creativity.
My background is in science, but I’ve always been passionate about building and making things. This space blends both worlds, thoughtful structure with artistic freedom.
I’m excited to share this creative community with you and welcome you into the studio.
