Lino Cut

Jul 7, 2015

1 min read

Something a lil’ bit new. I haven't attempted Lino cutting since college. Although it can be a bit tedious cutting the entire design out, it gives a lovely effect on your sketchbook pages. I love doing botanical/natural work with Lino as it leave behinds small bits of 'grain' when using the blocking ink to print. I've attached below one I tried out the other day for my Falmouth summer project.

You can pick up Lino equipment cheap on eBay if you’re interested. They also do starter kits and there’s YouTube tutorials on exactly how to do it!
