Unleashing Creativity through Lino Printing at Sad Art Gallery

Last Friday, I had the chance to host a Lino printing workshop at Sad Art Gallery in Tehran, bringing together an incredible group of participants, many of whom came from backgrounds like engineering and medicine. It was truly inspiring to see how these individuals, often more accustomed to analytical mindsets, embraced the creative process with enthusiasm and curiosity.

During the workshop, we explored every step of the Lino printing process. Participants began by sketching their designs, which were then transferred on linoleum sheets. From there, they carved their designs by small chisels, transforming simple sketches into intricate stamps. With their unique stamps in hand, participants applied fabric paint and carefully printed their creations onto tote bags.
