Reduction Linoleum Block Printing

Reduction lino is a form of relief printing that uses one linoleum block to make several different layers, one after the other, transforming the previous layer as you continue to enhance the surface with additional carving. In this four hour class we'll be going through a carving printing pattern in the order from light to dark: Carving light, Printing light, Carving medium, Printing medium, Carving dark, Printing dark. Our process will begin with a three to four color image in marker for reference.
