Linocut print on linen

First attempt at the YMCA last Friday. We learnt a lot on the importance of using good carving tools and ink. I have ordered a couple from Pfeil in 0.5 and 1mn for finer work, some printing ink, linseed oil and watercolour white paint to coat the Lino with. Il faut ce qu' il faut ;)

There is a also great history behind this medium, particularly when it comes to historical and contemporary movements for social change which I would like to explore next time. Stay tuned, we might come up with a Linocut Print workshop next year.
