Linocut is a relief printmaking method which uses a linoleum block to print an image. The surface of the block is carved to create an image in relief. Ink is then applied using a roller, and the linoleum block is impressed onto paper to transfer the image.

My linocuts are made with different methods - jigsaw, multiblock, reduction… but what does it all mean? Here’s a detailed explanation on the different linocut techniques I often use.
