What’s linocut ?
Linocut is a manual printing process that involves many steps.
Step 1: Drawing. I create a drawing based on my inspiration.
Step 2: I transfer the drawing onto a linoleum or rubber block.
Step 3: Using specialized carving tools, I carefully carve the design into the block.
Step 4: Once the drawing is complete, I apply an oil-based ink to the block using a roller.
Step 5: I carefully place a sheet of paper on top of the inked block and apply pressure using a wooden press. This transfers the ink from the raised areas onto the paper, creating the final print.
Step 6: Drying. This can take 1-2 weeks for oil-based ink.
Step 7: Each print is numbered and signed.
