“I had great fun making a retro sweet themed tote bag in EJ’s workshop. EJ helped me to choose colours that would compliment the background and lots of handy tips later I had a bright and beautiful bag I was really proud of. I'd definitely book another of EJ’s workshops, it was great fun!”

“EJ’s a wonderful teacher, and her workshop was a fun and relaxing way to unwind, be creative and learn a new skill over a drink or two! I would 100% recommend it.”

“I booked onto one of EJ’s evening workshops and it was so comprehensive and enjoyable we all left with at least two carvings and a print! I was immediately hooked and got myself some tools and have been carving and printing ever since. EJ has always been very generous with her inbox after as well to answer any questions. I highly recommend her work and her workshops, I and a lot of fun and continue to develop and enjoy print making. Thanks EJ!”

‘Me and my housemates did an ejparkles lino printing workshop and it was so much fun and a great environment to learn new art skills, make some new pals and create some re-useable lino stamps! I made a tote bag which I am still using daily! Thoroughly recommend ☺️”

Maddie Dixon

“I had a lovely zen evening making a Christmas themed foliage print for my Christmas cards in EJ’s workshop. EJ has great knowledge of lino printing and guided me while carving to make my print stand out. She has a calm and easy style which puts everyone at ease and gives you the confidence to try something new!”

Katie Bond

“My partner and I did a botanical lino print workshop with E-J and both absolutely loved it. Such a lovely way to spend a morning. E-J is a brilliant teacher who guided us gently through the process but allowed us the freedom to use our own ideas. We were both super happy with the end prints and very surprised we had been able to produce something that looked so good after just one session! Since the workshop I was inspired to have a go at home and have produced a couple of prints which are now on our wall. Hoping to make some Christmas cards one year too!”

Sarah de Malplaquet

“Back in September of 2018 I wouldn't have realised I was about to pick up such a valuable skill thanks to a lino cutting and printing workshop run by E-J at Between Two Thorns in Brighton. I figured it'd be a bit of fun but after taking part in the workshop and making a tote bag covered in leaves that I'd cut and printed with, I knew I would want to do more! E-J informed us of the best places to get supplies and taught us great tips and guidance.”

Catherine Woolley

“Since the workshop to name a few things I've made lino stamps for Christmas wrapping paper that I've reused every year since. I made lino stamps for my wedding invitations and stamped every single aspect of them. And then more recently created tote bags for work colleagues with a lino stamp specific to what we're working on, along with a themed t-shirt for myself using the same stamps."
