IWD 2026: Give to Gain – an evening of print & connection
Celebrate International Women’s Day at The Bothy with a creative letterpress workshop inspired by this year’s theme, “Give to Gain.” Enjoy a warm welcome with fizz and canapés before printing a collection of upbeat, inspiring postcards designed by Lucy from Green Machine Creative. This is an opportunity to connect, relax, and embrace the spirit of support and community of IWD.
Using a vintage Adana tabletop press and traditional wood and metal type, participants will learn how to print a set of 8 postcards from a curated collection of designs brought by Lucy. This is a rare opportunity to experience the tactile quality and craftsmanship of a centuries old technique that digital printing simply cannot replicate. With preset designs ready to go, you can personalise your prints with stamps, borders, and other creative touches, making each set truly your own.
Led by Lucy Douglas, founder of Green Machine Creative and a designer with over 15 years experience, this evening is ideal for anyone with an interest in printmaking, typography, or handmade stationery.
Come with someone who inspires you—a friend, colleague, family member or partner—or come solo and enjoy a welcoming, creative space all while enjoying fizz and canapés. Leave with beautiful prints; each postcard a personal keepsake or a dose of positivity you can gift to a friend to continue spreading the IWD message.
