RAK Art is proud to partner with Khawla Art & Culture to bring you a creative morning of printmaking with artist and educator Darrel Perkins. The Art of Linocut is a hands-on workshop where participants will learn how to carve, ink, and press their own bold, expressive designs using this timeless technique. Whether you’re a curious beginner or a seasoned creative looking to try something new, this workshop is your chance to roll up your sleeves and make some art—literally!

Darrel Perkins is a visual artist and educator from Providence, Rhode Island, USA, currently based in Dubai, UAE. His work spans printmaking, illustration, painting, and other traditional techniques, with a consistent focus on hand-crafted, tactile processes. Darrel’s art often explores the human form within narrative scenes, drawing inspiration from nautical, literary, and philosophical themes.

In 2025, he was invited to design and create the interactive stamp station for the RAK Art Festival, bringing his hands-on approach and artistic flair to an engaging public art experience.

Darrel is facilitating The Art of Linocut workshop in partnership with Khawla Art & Culture, as part of our shared commitment to creative exchange and community learning.
