About

A linocut is a type of relief print created by carving a design into a printing block. It is the uncut surface, not the carved away areas, that gives you your image when you roll it with ink, lay paper on top then apply pressure to produce a print.

With 18 easy-to-follow projects that can be adapted to suit your own ideas, experienced printmaker Sam Marshall guides you through the whole linocut process from drawing and carving, to inking and printing. From your kitchen table, or a more advanced studio set-up, learn how to create your own one-of-a-kind prints and handmade cards.

By taking inspiration from everyday life, Sam helps to build your confidence with observational drawing. Featuring step-by-step instructions, the book demonstrates a range of projects that use low-cost materials to produce simple linocuts, as well as colourful prints using reduction and multi-block methods. You will also learn more experimental techniques such as combining monoprint, chine collé, jigsaw linocuts and rainbow rolls and pic up handy tips on subjects such as "noise" and editioning your prints.

Beautifully illustrated with photographs of Sam's own drawings and linocuts, and featuring the work of 5 other talented printmakers, Linocut is an essential guide to linocut printmaking. Packed with creative and practical advice to guide and encourage you, whether you're just starting out, returning to the craft or looking to expand your printmaking skills.
