Workshops for Individuals
We run a variety of workshops to help you connect to yourself, nature and the seasons, some through lino print and others through general art making. Our in-person workshops use visualisation, poetry and lino print to connect to a specific seasonal topic. Our online workshops use visualisation and general art-making (not lino print) to explore our relationship with an element of nature of a personal obstacle.
Experiential Lino print Workshops
Foxgloves and Folklore: an experiential, nature-inspired lino print workshop
Are you drawn to the delicate beauty and mystery of foxgloves? In this experiential workshop, you will be guided through a nature-based visualisation, hear enchanting folklore and poetry about these iconic wildflowers, and be supported to create your own lino prints inspired by their charm and symbolism. Your individual artwork will contribute to a collaborative collection of prints, and you’ll also take home your lino block to continue creating at your leisure.
The session will include a guided introduction to linocut techniques, making it accessible for beginners while offering a creative space for those with prior experience. The focus is less on technique and more on immersing yourself in the creative process—connecting with the magic around foxgloves.
We’ll keep the group small – no more than six people – to ensure space for everyone to share, reflect, and enjoy this creative journey.
Please bring with you an apron or wear appropriate clothing for printing.

Online Experiential Workshops
Sarah is also an art therapist and writer. She runs online workshops for people who want to connect to themselves and nature using art and visualisation. These workshops are not linoprinting workshops. They are relaxed general art-making workshops, using whatever art material you have to hand. The focus is on what we can learn about ourselves and our needs from our art, rather than technique.
Creative Growth: using art for personal insight
Sometimes it’s challenging to explore and understand difficulties in your life. You may feel stuck, or just want to approach something with new eyes. In this workshop, you will be led through two exercises to help you explore an area of difficulty and open up to different outcomes.
The exercises will include breathing techniques, led visualisations, art making, and group sharing. This is a small private group for up to 7 people.
Monday 11 November, 1 - 2.30pm
Price starts from £15
The Soothing Season
This online workshop uses relaxation techniques and art-making to explore the wisdom and healing power of nature. Exploring a different seasonal theme every other week, these sessions will include a relaxation, a led visualisation on that week's topic, art-making in response to that topic, and sharing your experience via chat. This is a small private group for up to 7 people.
Every other Monday 1 - 2pm
Price starts from £12.50
Our Skills & Experience
We each bring our individual skills and experience together to craft each workshop.
Sarah is a printmaker and an art therapist who writes nature-based visualisations and leads people through soothing workshops that connect them with nature’s valuable teachings.
Becky is a printmaker and poet, who has experience running participatory community art projects.
Connecting to ourselves and nature is one of the primary focuses in our life, and living seasonally and connecting to nature’s symbolism is important to both of us.
We work together under Nettle Cottage Prints to bring you a unique experience.
