What Folks Are Saying... I had done a lot of art at school and now with a family of my own I just haven’t gone back to it. When I saw this course on Lino Printing held by Mustard and Gray I thought I’d have a go and see what it was like. Zoe had everything planned and explained each step perfectly with books and examples to look at. The course was held with a small group so it was lovely, and to top it off an amazing hot chocolate to finish!! I would definitely try some other courses in the future. Katie Such a wonderful, inspiring workshop! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the guidance was spot on – perfect for both beginners and those looking to refine their skills. I left feeling relaxed, creatively refreshed, and with a set of beautiful lino prints I’m really proud of. Can’t wait to join another session! Trish A fantastic workshop! Relaxed, friendly, and so inspiring. I learned so much and left with prints I absolutely love. Highly recommend! Zoe
Book a session with Us Rooted in the landscapes of Shropshire, our workshops weave together traditional crafts, nature-inspired creativity, and slow, sensory experiences. Each session is designed to honour the time of year—whether it’s the awakening energy of spring, the abundance of summer, the rich textures of autumn, or the quiet stillness of winter. From lino printing and botanical dyeing to woven crafts, paper artistry, and herbal creations, we’ll guide you through hands-on techniques that celebrate natural materials and thoughtful making. Alongside crafting, expect gentle nature walks, meditative moments, and seasonal rituals—encouraging you to tune into the rhythms of the land and the joy of slow creativity. Join us in crafting, wandering, and slowing down—welcoming each season with a sense of presence and creativity.
