Reduction Linocut Workshop

Kim was incredibly organised and had great strategies to ensure our success. I felt at ease with Kim. She was open and honest about what she does and what we could expect from the workshop.

I have been printmaking since I was 14 and am largely self-taught except from my tuition in high school. Wishing to take my lino printing practice to the next level I booked a private session with Kim a few years ago as I was seeking feedback from an accomplished artist who's work I admired. Kim was so generous with her knowledge and I felt so well supported and encouraged to take my practice to a new level. I had always wanted to try reduction lino printing and this workshop was an excellent introduction to this process. The pace and information was awesome, I was able to stretch myself in my learning, and I have come away feeling inspired and motivated to integrate this technique into my future work. Loved it! So grateful for you and your work Kim 🙂 Xx

You need an absolutely button for Would you recommend this workshop to friends or family? I think you are an amazing teacher... I have always had a problem with (so called) teachers who do not share enough information, such as suppliers, etcetera... But you totally rock in this regard!

I found it wonderful--to be around artists, to be learning new skills, to be given the time to be creative. [What did you like about the workshop?] Explicit guidance given, alongside time to experiment and work independently.

There was a relaxed, encouraging, and gently supportive vibe. Kim is skilled at helping just enough, without being intrusive and at encouraging people to learn by attempting new things. She unravels the considerable skill of reduction lino printing into bite-sized pieces. I look forward to doing another workshop. Oh, and she makes delicious cakes!

I could’ve stayed all week and just kept producing Lino prints. [What did you like about the workshop] Kim’s knowledge and skills. The relaxed environment. The small group.

A great learning experience in areas where I wanted to improve both knowledge and skills with an enthusiastic , supportive and very proficient teacher. A wonderful weekend. I loved the friendly atmosphere and your great teaching skills. [Kim is] a very supportive and knowledgeable teacher. I enjoyed real learning in areas I needed to improve my skills. A great weekend.

I had a great weekend. It was just the right length of time, and enough exposure to techniques to whet my appetite. I particularly enjoyed the explanations of more advanced methods.

[What did you like about the workshop] friendly small group but most of all, your infinite patience, understanding and encouragement not to give up! I needed a lot of help and i am so grateful. You are a fantastic educator and an awesome person. Thank you

Kim's workshops are always fun & very well organised, and in this my 4th reduction lino workshop I really enjoyed consolidating existing skills and developing new ones. I now feel confident to continue developing my practice. Thanks Kim.

A beautiful weekend with positive and encouraging participants. We had a lot of laughs and created some gorgeous pieces. Thanks Kim!

Kim is as ever a very comprehensive teacher - while I was off on my own path a little this weekend, I could seen her working with each student in turn, accommodating their particular levels of experience in reduction lino and their individual needs and interests. great workshop and a great outcome for everyone I think.

Small group works well and I felt I had plenty of access to your advice. I loved that we were in your workshop and could see your work in progress, and your tools and set up. It was also great that you had so many examples from lots of different artists to show. There's a clear process to follow - Trust the process! : ) I was able to finish my prints at home with no trouble. It was actually good for me to do that a couple of days after the workshop so I could still catch what I was already forgetting.

Kim's Lino print workshop is first class. She walked everybody through the technical aspects of reduction lino printing without leaving anyone behind. Her limited class size allowed her to spend time working with beginner printmakers as well as give advice on more difficult or advanced techniques. Every printmaker came away from the class I attended with a set of prints, an understanding of printing ink and papers, an idea of which tools to use and where to get them, and the confidence to go forth and create.

Kim, you are an excellent teacher and made your high levels skills and knowledge about printmaking accessible to a newbie like me.. I love the way you bring your whole heartedness, passion and fun to the workshop too.. I got a series of prints I was really happy with despite some challenges. I felt supported but challenged at the same time, which is really important to me in my learning. Thank you.

Kim’s workshop explored so much more than I anticipated. Her print making methods were generously explained with great clarity & detail. The weekend workshop was energetic, informative and I left totally inspired. After meeting Kim, I admire her not only as an accomplished artist, but even more as a generous, caring human. I feel fortunate to have stumbled across this little gem, leaving with so many new skills to practice. Look forward to exploring more with Kim next year.

The workshop was more than a workshop... it was a healing, therapeutic, positive experience. Makes you realise what you are capabable of. [I liked the] Organised and considered instruction. Encouragement of creativity and experimentation. Skilled planning by Kim to ensure I achieved an amazing end result. Great conversation with diverse and interesting participants.

kim made me feel at ease and creates a welcoming and inclusive vibe. i found kim very available and engaged with participants. kim is generous and open with her knowledge and in sharing access to relevant and cost effective resources for continuing and furthering print practice. serious learning delivered in a light-hearted manner.

As always Kim was very well prepared, the days were well planned, and everyone was comfortable to ask questions. I loved being able to see and hear about Kim’s own process and issues. Kim is VERY generous and very knowledgeable

Kim shares so generously in her workshops and I enjoyed every minute, coming away feeling reinvigoated and with so many new skills and ideas. Thank you Kim for a fabulous learning experience.

I am delighted to have met a genuine teacher, Kim has the skill to guide her students on their journey. Two days of one to one has me happily suffering brain burn, and as soon as I fully digest what I have been so fortunate to learn, I am going back for more.

This workshop was so informative, well-paced and so much fun! As always Kim is so encouraging and full of printmaking knowledge! You only have to look up enquiringly before she’s by your side, ready to help and give you advice. The workspace is packed with inspiration and it’s great to be able to use tools and materials you might not have access to yourself. Kim breaks down the seemingly daunting technique of reduction linocut, into a tried and tested process which gives you the confidence to try it on your own and further push yourself out of your comfort zone. I highly recommend if you’ve ever wanted to try reduction printmaking!

From the moment you arrive Kim makes the experience so special. Yes you learn about Lino cuts but much much more. Kim is an excellent teacher and a gentle soul...her energy makes this experience so rewarding. Thank you.

Kim is very organised and has a wealth of knowledge which she readily shares. Kim is an amazing tutor who imparts a positive attitude to her students.

Kim is a very generous artist and shares so much in her workshops. I’ve now completed five different workshops with Kim and highly recommend her talented and giving style of teaching.

What was not to like - the tips, instructions, setting, group, practical assistance, a laugh or two all exceptionally supplied by Kim.

Kim is a natural teacher, happy to share her knowledge and also to readily talk about lessons she has learned through making hands on 'mistakes'. Her passion for printmaking and her enthusiasm for sharing both her knowledge and her own continual learning journey was evident across the weekend.

Kim's passion and knowledge of reduction lino print and other printing processes made the weekend workshop so interesting and informative. Her skillset is outstanding and is to be admired and celebrated. In that sense, it was a privilege to be taught by her and have her share her skills and life with us, I have nothing but admiration for her strength, skill and tenacity. Working with other likeminded artisans is also special and so enjoyable to see how others approach their work and desired outcomes. Thank you Kim for a wonderful weekend.

Kim did a fabulous job sharing her expertise and helping the group get their heads around the amazing world of reduction printing. Everyone left with many more skills, and a completed piece of work of which they could be proud. I am sure we also left inspired to continue printing and determined to return and learn more from Kim.

I like the instruction is informative and clear but delivered in an informal way. I also like the generous sharing of ideas, tools and resources. And that you enable participants to go home and continue working on linocut printing with minimal equipment. I also like to see the work of other students take shape. The studio set-up is great - plenty of space for all. I thought the time management was good - I never felt either rushed or bored. And of course - location, location, location!

Small class. So much help and attention from [Kim] and so generous with resources and advice. I am reeling with so much to process and remember. Lovely studio and outlook. Very special greeter Maggie. I think I enjoyed and learnt more in this workshop than the first Lino one I did some years ago.

From her well-equipped studio in the quiet Maleny countryside, Kim provides you with a very informative, relaxed and fun two-day workshop. Having the workshop held in a full time working printmakers studio, with a wealth of resources to hand, plenty of works in progress, and access to past works - really enriches the learning experience. Originals of other printmakers work hang on the walls, and a well -resourced library of reference books is to hand. A creative, stimulating environment indeed.

Kim has a natural way with people, she makes everyone feel very welcome as soon as they enter the studio. She has a great teaching style and follows up each session with printed information to take home. Kim is very knowledgeable about her craft and has many resources to share. I spent a very happy and rewarding 2 days learning about Lino reduction printing.

Kim is a thorough, well prepared and organised teacher of Reductive Linoprinting. I was very pleased with the experience, because I learned what I wanted to know, and am energised to continue in this printmaking technique.

Kim is such a fantastic teacher. Very informative. Explains the subject so it is easy to understand. Very generous with all aspects of the workshop. Lots of fun. I came away, and I can say for all our group, with such energy and enthusiasm. Cannot wait to continue with all the knowledge from this second workshop that I have attended with Kim.

You are such a great teacher, a genuine person and I absolutely loved the weekend and only wished I lived closer so I could come to everything you run! Thank you for sharing so much of your knowledge and experience with us, its invaluable and so generous. Do yourself a favour and sign up for one of Kim's workshops, you will not regret it!

Kim is a wonderful instructor, very welcoming, passionate and full of knowledge that she is only too happy to share. I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and would recommend it to anyone wanting to take their Linocuts to the next level.

I signed up for a two day Lino Print workshop with Kim. I was nervous about attending as my background is not of an artistic nature and I was not sure my skill level would meet the criteria needed. Why did I worry? With Kim's gentle approach to the workshop; her step by step instructions and expectations, she put my mind at ease immediately. Her gentle approach to the workshop instills confidence in your ability and by the end of the tuition, you have created a piece that you are proud of. Very liberating!

I had a great time at Kim’s workshop learning reduction Lino printing. Kim was a great tutor and had a vast knowledge of information that she was happy to share with us all. Her teaching style is relaxed while ensuring everyone completes their desired prints. Nothing was to much trouble for her. Great day and would love to do more printing with her in the future.

Thank you for the best workshop I've been to for a long time !!... It was a great refresher and update for me to follow .... aiming for a much more professional level.

A great teacher, is one that shares. Kim was a fantastic teacher and guide through the lino reduction process. She has a passion for her art, which is contagious, in those of us with lesser skills. Enjoyed it immensely, I will be back.

Kim has a natural gift for teaching & such vibrant joy in sharing her knowledge & skills - it just spreads out to everyone! Very thankful Kim was so generous with her time - (with all of us) as I learn only through the 'doing'. The size of our group was perfect & the location was just divine. I had a wonderful weekend & keen for more printing practice now!! THANK YOU KIM for an inspirational weekend!

Very well organised in a beautiful workshop setting. I liked the small group, allowing us all time with Kim. A happy atmosphere; Kim is extremely giving of her time a knowledge and an excellent communicator.

I loved the workshop. Kim shared a lot of information, as well as images which is always nice to see and aspire to. Going through the process with prints of each part of the process was helpful. I had a million questions, and Kim were kind enough to answer them. This enables me see the process in my mind more clearly and to try a couple of things I was wondering about.

Kim's nurturing personality was very helpful in breaking down barriers to learning. Very well organised and presentation of class material superb. The supply of coffee, tea and yummy cookies showed a genuine generosity of spirit. All equipment was supplied, explained and demonstrated. Superb attention to detail.

Had a thoroughly enjoyable two days with Kim who managed to de-mystify my fear of reductive lino cutting. The two day workshop was so well organised and resourced and Kim is so generous with sharing her knowledge and linocut secrets. The venue proved very inspirational but the view was a definite distraction! Came away with re-ignited passion and motivation. Thank you so much Kim x

I attended Kim’s Reductive Linoprint Workshop on the weekend. I would highly recommend doing a workshop with Kim such an enthusiastic and talented lady. We had a lovely weekend in a perfect setting at Richard Muldoon’s studio in Maleny. Kim is a great teacher and generously shared all her expertise. Really looking forward to doing another workshop with Kim.

I found the workshop very well organised, very relaxing atmosphere with no pressure and every step well explained. Great selection of prints to use as a template as well. I learned a lot and realise how important it is to be careful, more precise and take your time. I framed my print and it actually looks great, so in the end I guess I was pleased with what I achieved and feel inspired to do another one with a different subject on the lino. Thanks Kim thoroughly enjoyed.

You run a fantastic workshop Kim, you made everyone feel relaxed and you were so generous with your knowledge, resources and tips to ensure every one achieved a good result. Your passion for printmaking really shines through and is so very infectious. You ensured each participant was given the guidance they needed and took particular interest in ensuring everyone understood the process. You were most helpful in explaining ways to overcome any hurdles and genuinely wanted people to be happy with what they were producing. I came away itching to finish my print and to improve my reductive linocut printmaking skills. I have no hesitation in recommending this workshop to others and l look forward to doing more workshops with you.
