About
Set up in 2019, Linnet Workshops is run by West Devon based artist Grace Coombes. With a life long passion for making and creating, Grace has developed a wide range of art and craft based Workshops with a focus on block printing. Each creative session has been carefully developed to offer a relaxed and rewarding experience.
Grace loves to promote the many benefits of engaging in creative activities. Making and creating can help to reduce stress, improve mood and increase self confidence.

Grace enrolled in an Art Foundation Course at Falmouth University and then went on to study Illustration at Brighton University. She later developed a love for printmaking which feeds into many of the creative sessions on offer.
Her prints have been exhibited at MAKE Southwest (formerly Devon Guild of Craftsman) and Ocean Studios, Plymouth.

What people say about Linnet Workshops
'Grace from Linnet Workshops ran a number of 2-hour workshops for Riverford co-owners to get involved in throughout our Learning at Work Week and we loved it!
We benefitted from some time to enjoy this relaxing, mindful, creative activity and came away with some wonderful creations. Grace has inspired many of our co-owners this week and we recognise the talent we have amongst our co-owner community.
We highly recommend having a go with lino cut and print workshops, individually or getting your team and workforce involved.'
