Format:Paperback
I really enjoyed reading and working through this book on linocut. As a novice printmaker it gave me some great tips and ideas for more ways to explore my linocutting. Also, as a teacher it has provided me with more ways to use the technique in the classroom and great explanations of the materials too. The pictures are very helpful in making things clear and easy to understand and some of the prints included by other printmakers are very inspirational. Overall a great in-depth exploration of linocut. Highly recommended!

I bought this book directly from the author, after doing one of her linocut workshops, and it's brilliant. The instructions are clear and easy to follow if you are a novice, like me. There is also a lot of sample artwork to give you ideas. I had no idea I'd be able to create such detailed pieces, just from bits of lino!
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning linocut, or about it.
