The Metropolitan Museum of Art described printmaking as an artistic process based on the principle of transferring images from a matrix onto another surface, most often paper or fabric.

Traditional printmaking techniques include woodcut, etching, engraving, and lithography. So, when Fairland-based Lillian Gray School of Fine Art hosted a printmaking night recently, locals hurried to their studio so they could get a sense of the process themselves.

Guests first carved designs out of lino printmaking paper then, using paint, transferred the image onto either a tote bag or pencil case.
Here are some of the attendees showing off their final creations.
