PRINTMAKING for ALL

Term 4 – Woodcut & Lino

​​​

Lino and Woodcut is one of the most widely known forms of relief printmaking. It is the raised surface that

contains the positive image that is printed. The background area or negative space is carved away leaving

white or non printed areas. This print process allows a variety of mark making using different woodcutting

tools and sandpapers giving you a variety of line and tonal quality. There are endless possibilities with this

print process from four colour separation and multi block printing, allowing good colour experimentation

and arrangement options.
