It is a printing method using a sheet of linoleum, in which a subtractive cutting method is used to take away the parts of linoleum where you want to leave the white of the page, and keep the parts you want to be inked! In the result you have a linocut that can reproduce the same image over and over again.
How do you Lino print
- Transfer design onto the sheet of linoleum with pen or pencil.
- Carve the design with the lino cutting tools.
- Prepare the paper but making sure it has been soaked in water and then dried off.
- Roll out the ink on a plastic board.
- Transfer the ink from the board onto the sheet of linoeum.
- Place your paper over you inked lino design and place in the albion press to print the lino design onto the paper.
Health and Safety
- Insure you are always cutting away from yourself when using lino cutting tolls.
- Make sure you watch where your fingers are when using the albion press to stop them from getting caught in it.
Mark is a lino printing artist. This is why i have looked into his work for this workshop as some of his work is creating typeography maps which is what i have created and reviewed in my sketch book. I like his work and think as he doesn't use alot of colour but when he does he use very little of it in places and I think this makes his working unique and interesting.
