How quickly can my order be delivered?
We aim to dispatch within 1 business day for standard postage (written as EXPRESS on your order) usually if an order is received before midday, it goes into the postage bag for that same day, otherwise it goes out next day. Our delivery partner is Royal Mail we use a business 48 hour service which provides you a tracking number. For something you need more quickly, go for our NEXT DAY service. If placed before 12 midday we can send it out that day (Mon - Fri) for next day delivery. After that 12 midday cut off point this will dispatch the following day for arrival the day after. NOTE no deliveries are made on Sunday.
Can I customise my order?
Yes! An advantage of being a small business is that we are flexible. For our kits, choose from either standard pre-packed options or upgrade and choose your own colours & extra items from the drop down menu on that product page. We love to make a kit personal to the individual. Get in touch for any special requests.
What is lino printing?
Lino printing otherwise known as linocut is an art activity originating in the early Twentieth Century. A form of 'relief' printing similar to potato printing, we make a design onto a lino sheet with a sharp tool before applying printing ink onto the surface of that sheet. By pressing onto paper, a simple print of that cut design is produced.
Can children do lino printing?
Lino printing is suitable for all abilities and most ages however, sharp tools are used. Schools will suggest age 11 upwards however every adult should supervise their activity with children and young adults. Clever Hands cannot be responsible for this.
If I buy a kit what else do I need to provide?
Because we teach workshops, we know the things you will need including written instructions & videos. Almost all equipment & materials are included with just a few household items to find at home. For lino printing you should have a flat surface, some scrap paper, a pencil and access to a sink....and of course a kit!
