lino cutting
Lino cutting is a printmaking technique that involves carving designs into a sheet of linoleum. Artists use special tools to remove the linoleum surface, creating a raised image that can be inked and pressed onto paper. This method allows for bold, graphic designs and is popular among both beginners and experienced printmakers.
Once the design is carved, ink is applied to the raised areas using a roller. The inked surface is then pressed onto paper, transferring the image. Lino cutting is valued for its versatility and the unique textures it can produce, making it a favored choice in art and craft communities.
