Limited and open edition relief prints

Lino prints can be made from one or more blocks. Single block prints can use contrast to great effect. Multiple blocks permit layering of colours for vibrant designs.

Relief prints are made by cutting away material from the surface of a ‘block’ or ‘plate’ – of wood, lino, or other material. Ink is then applied to the remaining areas and run through a press to transfer the image to paper.

Photograph of a woodcut print in red ink on white paper. The image is square and shows the three stones of a Dolmen burial chamber in a field. At the feet of the supporting stones there are grasses but otherwise the site is a ploughed field. In the distance is a tree line and clouds. — ‘Red Devil’s Den’, Woodcut 2023

Photograph of a black and white print sat on a table with a wooden spoon on top. The print shows three standing stones in a grassy landscape. A distant tree line, download landscape and clouds form the background. Two stones at left and rightmost are in the foreground while the third is in the middle distance. The trees and stones are separated by a henge bank. — ‘Red Devil’s Den’, Woodcut 2023
