We are hosting a super-secret lino party on Saturday, March 28. 1–3 PM. Medium Effort, 162 King St. W. in Brockville.

Here's what we can tell you:
-You’ll carve. You’ll pull a couple of prints to take home. The block stays with us for reasons you will understand later.
-All materials provided. Some lino carving experience recommended but not necessary. A tolerance for the unexplained is essential.
-There will be ink. There will be paper. There will be good company. There will, eventually, be answers.

Spots are VERY limited, so email [email protected] now if you're in!
