Your instructor

Instructor Mirella

My name is Mirella and I’m an artist. In my home studio in Prague, I create hand-printed linocuts on paper and textiles. I work with traditional art techniques, and what I enjoy most is printmaking — every impression is an original with its own charm. I’ve been living in the Czech Republic for ten years, and I’ll be happy to share my joy of creating with you during the workshop.

I will guide you clearly, step by step – from the first design to the final print.
