🎄 A little Christmas plea! I have 120 original linocut prints, all hand-printed by me (a real human!) in my York studio. Some designs are down to just 1 or 2.

Have a favourite on your Christmas wish list? Let me know, and I can put one aside.

I love making Christmas cards for friends and family, so I’ve added four linocut Christmas card designs to my online course, Beginner’s Guide to Linocut Printing.

On Friday, I spent the day teaching a linocut workshop for improvers, and we made Christmas cards! 🎄

I’m looking forward to talking about my book at the Ilkley Literature Festival this Saturday. 📚
This is my linocut of the iconic Cow and Calf Rocks above Ilkley.

I’ve hand-coloured the beaks of my blackbird linocut prints with yellow watercolour. Is that cheating?! 🤔💛 What do you think? Would you like one for your wall?

Four fabulous linocut prints from today's beginner's linocut workshop.

Inking and printing my blackbird linocut in black oil-based ink. I re-ink the lino block for every print. Next, I’ll be hand-colouring all those little beaks yellow, one print at a time. 💛

It’s always lovely to come back from a holiday to glowing reviews of my online courses. Erin joined my How to make a multi-block #linocut print all the way from New Zealand! 🥰

On Sunday I’m hoping to go walking in the #NorthYorkMoors. Am I too late for a sea of purple heather?
This linocut print was inspired by a favourite walk at the Hole of Horcum.

Save the date for York Open Studios 2027! I’m delighted and relieved that my YOS application was accepted. Next year will be my 9th year.

If you don’t live in York, it’s well worth a long weekend visit.

An edition of my Gordale Scar linocut has recently flown off to a new home. 💚

Back from a very wet week in #Scotland, staying at a cosy cottage in Port Allpin in #Argyll. While it did scupper taking lots of inspiration photos, we did manage to get out walking each day. It certainly tested my waterproofs!

[Michelle Hughes @Design_York]

@DarrenP72292935 I never have. You just need to keep your other hand out of the way. 😊

The finished carved block for my blackbird linocut print. I’ve carved out the inside of the beak so I can hand-colour it yellow afterwards. That bit was rather stressful! Thankfully, I didn’t cut his beak off!
