A practical guide to linocut and reduction printing

Organized in three parts, the book moves from tools and materials to preparing designs for lino, then to making prints through layered, step-by-step demonstrations. It covers practical tasks such as sharpening tools and setting up a printing press, alongside design decisions specific to the medium. Ten print projects show how color builds across successive layers, making reduction printing a central thread throughout. The illustrations support a guide that connects preparation, cutting, and printing in one working process.
