Slow down, focus, and make an original print with your own hands. This linocut workshop in Sofia introduces you to relief printmaking from start to finish—guided by artist Silvia Nikolova in a relaxed, creative atmosphere.

How the workshop unfolds

1. Choose a motif you like—pick from ready-made templates or bring an idea you’d love to see as a print.
2. Transfer your composition onto linoleum using rice paper. This delicate first step brings the image to life before carving begins.
3. Carve with gouges. Lines take shape, details build up, and each cut adds character. It’s a calming, absorbing process.
4. Ink the linoleum block. What remains in relief will receive ink and print.
5. Print on paper and reveal the final image. You leave holding your first linocut—unique and unmistakably yours.

What is relief printmaking?
Linocut is a relief technique: the raised surfaces of your block are inked and pressed onto paper. The result is a crisp, lively graphic with a distinctive rhythm of line and a strong personal touch.
