What will you carve after dark?
Get inspired by Bram Stoker, Victorian Dublin and the supernatural at Prints After Dark: an evening of lino printing with Create & Sip.
Led by artists Ciara Kavanagh and Billy Fagan, first you’ll learn the basics of lino carving and create your own printing block. Once your stamp is ready, you’ll experiment with printing it onto high-quality paper and your own canvas tote bag, creating unique prints to take home.
Your carved lino block is yours to keep too – so you can continue making prints long after the night is over.
No previous experience is needed. Materials provided along with complimentary tea and coffee.
Create & Sip is a Dublin-based creative workshop studio co-founded by lead artist Ciara Kavanagh. We create fun, hands-on art experiences where people can try something new in a relaxed social setting, meet others and make something to take home – no experience required!
Part of Night Bites, Dublin City Council Bram Stoker Festival’s after-dark series presented in association with the Night-Time Economy Advisor.
