Lino cut printing is a method of relief printing, so it’s the opposite of tetrapak printing. You carve into lino, your design and everything you carve will be white, everything you leave will be inked up. The benefit of lino printing is you can reuse the block many many times. You use special carving tools that have different cutters so you can make fine and wider lines and cut larger areas away. The carving is a little bit dangerous in that you can really hurt yourself if you don’t use the tools correctly so I will only offer this at the festival for adults and it will just be a small group so I can help and supervise carefully.

You’ll have the opportunity to print at least 3 of 4 images and take home your block so you can print some more in the future. If there’s time you may be able to create a second design,
