Free printmaking workshops for carers this summer

18th June 2026

Carers are being invited to take a well-earned break and explore their creative side at a series of free printmaking workshops running across Bristol and South Gloucestershire this summer.

These relaxed, welcoming sessions are designed specifically for carers and offer the chance to try a range of creative techniques, including lino printing, gelli printing and screen printing. No previous experience is needed, and all materials are provided.

As well as learning something new, the workshops are a great opportunity to meet other carers, share experiences and take some time out for yourself.
