WHAT’S LINO CUTTING
Lino cutting is the reproduction method to control. you will
only need a few tools then offers a wide range of effects the
basic value of relief printing is that the white areas that
you’ve designed will be removed from the block, so that the
areas that you left with are inked are printed to create the
image required.
STEP1 You will need:
A pencil
A lino block
A V tool
A tracing paper
Designed my idea onto the surface of the lino with a pencil
and then I’ve transferred my drawing onto the lino using
tracing paper.
I took the V-tool to cut the basic elements of my
design and for the lines which will print it white, and
then I used a gouge for wider lines and for removing
larger areas.

STEP 3
Took the roller and went all over the ink onto the
lino block few times in different ways to confirm an
even supply of ink.
STEP 4
Put the paper against the inked lino block and rub
with something smooth like the back of a spoon till
the design goes throw the paper.
STEP 5
Lift part of the paper off the lino to see the progress
of the image rub till an adequate print is found
