In this online demonstration, you’ll spend a couple of hours learning how to print a multicolor image from one linoleum block, Mary’s specialty. Through a series of progressive carvings and press runs, the image emerges while the actual linoleum block is destroyed. In a single two-hour session, Mary will explain her process as well as answer your live questions on the following:
Choosing appropriate images for reduction linocut printing
Transferring the image onto the linoleum block
Selecting the right carving tools and wielding them properly
Planning your color scheme and overprinting techniques to create multiple-colors
Visualizing the many stages your print will go through as your reduction cut progresses
Printing techniques you can do at home or on a Vandercook cylinder press
