Van Gogh Mono And Lino Printing Workshop Knysna (4 Oct’25)
Join Sanet for a creative day of playful mark-making, textured surfaces, and bold experimentation. You’ll be inspired by the raw emotion and movement in Van Gogh’s work as you explore your own expressive style.

She holds a diploma in Visual Arts from the Ruth Prowse School of Art, where she majored in Printmaking. Her studies also included training in craft, design, fine art, photography, and event coordination.
Sanet is a proud member of The Printing Girls, a collective of female printmakers dedicated to sharing their love of the medium. She currently facilitates art classes at the Imibala Trust and De Hoop Primary School in Somerset West, where she continues to inspire creativity in young minds.
