Peculiar Arcana: Explore Lino Printing & Tarot with Alexi Marshall

Step into the world of lino printing and tarot in this immersive workshop led by artist Alexi Marshall. Dive deep into the symbolism of the tarot, exploring a variety of source materials and decks for inspiration.

  • Design a tarot card based on your own hopes for the future.

  • Learn the technique of linocutting, carving your design into lino to create a ready-to-print block.

  • Master inking techniques to bring your card to life through block printing.

  • Experience the magic of collaboration—you’ll leave not only with your own card but a few surprises along the way!

No experience necessary—just bring your creativity and curiosity!

Arcadia screening + talk

Toad Lickers Film Club are teaming up with Hospitable Environment’s The People’s Picturehouse to bring you a screening of Paul Wright’s Arcadia.

A visual collage of archive footage becomes a psychedelic journey through rural England, with a new score by Adrian Utley (Portishead) and Will Gregory (Goldfrapp) .

This screening will be preceded by ‘Puritanical Ghosts and the False Idyl of Cottage Core’, a talk by Toad Lickers Collective exploring how Britain’s ideological past has resulted in a strained relationship to nature, manifesting as micro-trends on social media. Cottage core inspired refreshments will be provided by Hospitable Environment.

Tickets £10 (concessions available)
