Unlock early creativity and mark-making with the Little Printmakers Workshop, a sensory, hands-on experience designed specifically for Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) settings.
Led by experienced author, artist, and early years consultant Pippa Pixley, this immersive workshop invites your youngest learners to become storytellers and printmakers. Using an authentic tabletop press, vibrant inks, rollers, and etching tools, children will experiment with textures and techniques to create their very own stories and original monoprint artwork.
Perfect for developing fine motor skills, communication, and expressive arts, the workshop weaves together literacy and physical development through sensory exploration. Pippa brings all the specialized equipment, along with her signature energy, to guide children through captivating, age-appropriate themes.
Adaptable EYFS Workshop Themes
    • Typographical Artwork: Exploring letters, shapes, and communication through tactile print.
    • Autumn Leaves and Colours: Foraging and pressing natural materials to explore seasonal changes and colour-mixing.
    • Prehistoric Art: Stepping back in time to experiment with ancient drawing materials and primitive mark-making.

The Printworks in Manchester invited me to host a prehistoric printing workshop to tie in with the screening of Aardman Animation’s latest movie, Early Man. I brought along my tabletop printing press, foam boards, paints & rollers; and everyone loved trying new techniques to produce ancient art!
