Lino Printing event - Make a print and have a drink!

Lino printing workshop, Valentines edition! - make a print while you have a drink!

In this fun printmaking class, you will discover the art of lino printing! Throughout the workshop, you will learn how to carve intricate designs, apply inks, and print stunning images onto various surfaces- all with a glass of prossecco in hand!

If you are new to printmaking, this class is ideal as it's designed with beginners in mind. Your experienced instructor will guide you every step of the way, helping you feel comfortable and encouraged as you explore your own ideas and see the endless possibilities of lino printing.

During the workshop, you will work with high-quality materials such as linoleum, carving tools, printing ink, and paper. This hands-on experience will not only be fun but also therapeutic, allowing you to immerse yourself in the artistic process.

You'll finish the session feeling creatively fulfilled, leaving with a collection of beautiful prints to take home and showcase proudly – or give to a loved one!

Looking to meet more LGBTQ+ people? Join us at The London Art Bar for our regular meet-ups hosted by LAB co-founder Gareth. 

Now in our fourth year, our meet-ups are all about meeting new people, making friends, and having a good time in a queer-friendly space.

The meet-ups have a very relaxed vibe with background music at just the right volume for chatting to people! There are also some boardgames on the shelves if people fancy playing them. Feel free to bring your own!

I (Gareth) try my best to greet everybody, but this is of course easier at the beginning of the event. If you are ever stuck, say hello to our friendly bar team who can point you in my direction.

Come by yourself or bring a friend :)

Dating in 2026 can be hard. Who doesn’t have app fatigue? Join us at The London Art Bar for an IRL dating experience like no other. In this event, you’ll get a chance to pitch your friend to a room full of awesome other singles.

If you’re pitching: all you need to do is create a 3-5 minute slide deck (Google Slides, PowerPoint - whatever you prefer) that shows off all the best things about your friend. You’ll then need to take to the mic and give your pitch to the room. You might just be playing cupid!

We will have time for mingling in the break and after the pitches - so plenty of time to work your charm if someone catches your eye.

Not pitching? No worries - there are plenty of spots in the audience and you’ll still get to join in with the mingling of course.

Doors will open at 7PM with the presentations starting from about 8PM.

FAQs

Who can attend? The event is open to everybody (18+). You don’t have to be single to attend the event or pitch - morale support from our coupled up friends is important! (We’ll have some different wristbands to avoid any of those awkward conversations…)

I need some pitching inspiration! We’ll be releasing some templates closer to the time if you need inspo. Pop us an email at info@londonartbar.com if you need any extra event.

Is this event LGBTQ+ inclusive? Yes! We’re hoping there will be a great mix of people and a fun mixer for people regardless of sexual orientation

I want to pitch my friend but the pitching spots are gone! Get in touch with us at info@londonartbar.com and we’ll add you to the waiting list. You might want to get an attendee ticket in the meantime so you don’t risk missing out.

How do we stay in touch after the event? We would recommend agreeing this with your friend before your pitch. Are they happy sharing their insta handles with the room?

Key information for pitchers:

Please arrive at the venue close to 7PM so we can introduce you to the equipment and run through any issues

You can make your presentations in a range of formats (Canvas, PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides). Please send them to gareth@popuppainting.com or info@londonartbar.com no later than midday on the day of the event in either Google Slides or PowerPoint format

When making your presentations, please be mindful of your friend’s privacy. Don’t include anything they will be mortified to have featured, and consult with them what contact details are appropriate to share (or not). Instagram handles might be okay, but not home addresses!

Please get in touch at info@londonartbar.com if you have any questions or accessibility needs.
