Linocut Printmaking

In-School Art Field Trips

In-School Art Field Trips are when an Art Instructor visits your classroom for a 90 minute art program (multiple art programs can be booked in a single day).

Teachers can choose from a variety of printmaking themes for their grade/class. Each art lesson can take place in your classroom, we set up, clean up and bring all the supplies! Students receive a drawing lesson and use proper printmaking tools to create their own Linocut art print. Teachers can book this independently or with other teachers at their school.
