I found this CPD session very useful and engaging. For me, it was also a valuable revision, as I studied printmaking during my university years. The course helped to refresh my knowledge and reminded me of several key processes involved in lino printing.
I particularly appreciated the opportunity to familiarise myself with the differences in English vocabulary, especially between UK and US terminology for various tools and materials, as some items are referred to differently.
One aspect I found especially helpful was the introduction and explanation of the registration card. During my teaching practice as a student, we did not use this method, but I can see how practical and effective it is for aligning prints and supporting students in achieving better results.
I also greatly enjoyed the practical advice based on real classroom situations. The examples shared during the session, along with the tips on organising a printing station and managing the clean-up process, were extremely useful and realistic for classroom teaching.
Overall, this was a very informative and practical CPD session that strengthened my understanding of lino printing and provided strategies that I will be able to apply in my own teaching practice.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. I’m really pleased to hear that the course was useful and helped refresh your knowledge of lino printing from your university studies. I’m glad the section on UK and US terminology was helpful, as those differences can certainly cause confusion. It’s also great to hear that the registration card was a useful takeaway — it’s a simple method that really helps students align their prints successfully. I’m especially pleased that the practical classroom tips resonated with you. My aim with my courses is always to share strategies that genuinely work in real classrooms. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback.

I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.
I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.
I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
