Question 1

What is lino print?

Accepted Answer

Lino printing, also known as linocut or linoleum art, is a traditional printmaking technique. It is a variant of woodcut, in which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes mounted on a wooden block) is used for a relief surface, in order to create bold and unique analogue prints.

Question 2

Is lino printing safe for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Lino printing offers a hands-on, creative approach that's surprisingly easy to dive into, even if you're completely new to printmaking! The cutting tools are not very sharp, due to linoleum being a soft and easily-cut material. When handled correctly, the ink is safe to use and easy to wash out.

Question 3

Do I need prior experience to participate?

Accepted Answer

All experience levels are welcome, but please note that we will be handling moderately sharp tools and ink as part of the lino printing process. Our aim is always to guide you gently through the process, ensuring a pressure-free environment where you can fully immerse into your creative flow.
