Most common question when I’m teaching or demonstrating lino printing: what tools/materials do you use? So here’s a little run down of some stuff you might want to get for printing at home... : Push knives - for mixing inks . Oil based inks - I really like Intaglio’s relief/litho ink, and recently I’ve been teaching with and using Cranfield’s safe wash relief inks, which just as good and clean up easily with soap and water . Roller - a good heavy one! . Baren - I have a bunch of different ones, the speedball one here is pretty good if you’re using thin paper I reckon . Slama Press - this is a bit niche but it’s awesome and worth investing in if you plan to make a lot of prints and want the same quality you would get with a printing press . Wooden spoon - always useful if you’re printing in the kitchen! . Cutting tools - there’s so many that are great. My favourites are these Swiss cutting tools. They’re super sharp and really awesome! If you’re starting out I would also recommend a set of inexpensive pencil type woodcutting tools . Lino - I almost always use this grey essdee lino. When new it’s really easy to carve and I think you can get really fine detail which is a plus for the sort of stuff I make! . Paper - not pictured but still essential! It can be hard to know when starting out what paper to use, so I’d say go to Intaglio Printmaker or John Purcell Paper and they’ll help you out 🙂 . Other bits and pieces: steel ruler, pencils, sharpies, fine liners, tracing paper, scissors, Stanley knife, scalpel, rags... usually I get all this other stuff from Great Art . Come to one of my workshops and I’ll show you how to use this stuff to make awesome prints!! Coming up soon I’ll be at Barbican Centre, M.Y.O. in Peckham, Creoate’s pop up in Covent Garden and East London Printmakers. . . @intaglioprintmaker @cranfieldcolours @greatart_uk @myolondon @creoate @johnpurcellpaper @barbicancentre @eastlondonprintmakers @slamapress @speedball_art #print #printmaking #lino #linocut #maker #tools #materials #workshop #london #art #design https://www.instagram.com/p/BpprQ9nHSzE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1necx6tz8lkdm

There was a load of steps to get the texture into the boards for the @barbicancentre chess set I made with @adamguyblencowe ! Lots of ghost printing, and as a by product there was so many unique and interesting prints aside the final edition. Here’s one of them, you can just about make out the four separate layers of lino printed colour and see a totally different image by purposely mis-registering the block when putting it through the press.
