Blind Embossing Workshop – Printing Without Ink

Wed 18 Feb 2026, choose from two available times: 10.30am–1pm or 2pm–4.30pm
With Asma Hashmi, printmaker

Half-day practical session in the Ashmolean Learning Studio

Each session will be the same workshop.

A hands-on printmaking workshop exploring blind embossing using an etching press, a technique that creates raised, textured designs on paper without using ink.

Using an etching press. participants will press designs into thick, dampened paper, leaving behind beautifully tactile impressions that play with light and shadow.

Inspired by Museum artefacts and images, participants will design and emboss their own unique prints using simple materials such as textured objects, stencils and hand-cut shapes.

You'll take home a series of striking, embossed artworks.

No prior experience is needed, just a willingness to experiment with form and texture!

This event is part of our Connect & Collaborate season of events.

Tickets are £65 each for each half-day session. Booking is essential.
