Lino Printing Workshop - The Result

Last Thursday's lino workshop at MMU was great fun, i hope everyone enjoyed themselves.

I wasn't allowed to give tuition in the actual print room, however, the prints I saw pulled from the blocks that were printed looked fantastic.

I started cutting my own block during the session, it was a good incentive to start my roadkill project. 

Just need to get on a press!

Lino Printing, It's Piss Easy

To go with the lino printing workshop I am doing at Manchester Metropolitan University for their Interactive Arts students I have put a "How To' guide online.

I don't profess to being the best at lino printing, but i hope the guide is helpful for absolute beginners.
