Linocut Prints

Linocut prints are limited edition hand pulled print. They are created by carving a relief into linoleum then applying ink to the surface, next paper is placed over the ink and pressure is applied by rubbing the paper with a baren which transfers the ink to the page. To add color multiple sheets of linoleum can be carved and transferred to the page or a reduction method can be employed: cutting and printing each color from one block until only the last color remains.
