Relief prints – lino, woodcut & wood engraving

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.

Woodcuts are made similarly, using smoothed wood cut along the grain.

Wood engravings are usually smaller works cut into the end grain of woods such as Box, Holly, Pear and Lemonwood. End grain engraving permits very fine detail.
