bluekarin Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I am thinking of trying my hand at some lino printing. I last did some at college many moons ago and really liked it. I saw an article in that b-e-a-u-tiful mag Home about making gift tags and paper and would like to do some cards. Any one done some recently and know where to get some of the tools needed?

bluekarin Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Thank you! I shall look forward to hearing how you got on. The bit that worries me is at college we had a large press to do the prints, but at home I wouldn't have that, just how hard I could press manually.

freddie Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 where are you? i've found a lady who has a printing press, and loads of experience, and is willing to do a class for 2/3 of us!!!!! dont suppose it'll be free, but will be reasonable. She's lovely too! I'll find out more tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'm in Wiltshire, so a bit far away which is a shame. You'll have to tell me what you do on it when (and if) you go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I did lino printing for my A Levels (12 years ago ), really enjoyed it I buy my glass painting stuff from Artifolk, just did a search on there for Lino printing and they have a few bits http://www.artifolk.co.uk/shop.aspx?search=lino%20printing In school we just pressed down our lino cuts by hand and they seemed to come out ok. I vaguely remember using the roller and rolling out the ink on a tile thing, then putting it on the lino. Actually thinking about it not sure if we then laid the paper on top of the lino and used a clean roller to press it on. Does that make sense? Anyway good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
