Make a hand coloured linocut print
Channel: Spines And Splines
Date: 14/09/2020

Learn how to make a hand coloured linocut print. In this video, I design and make wine labels using one plate printed in black, hand coloured with drawing ink. I cover printing with minimal materials, including spoons and barens, and also demonstrate how to print lino on an etching press. Scroll down to find a materials list and links to timecodes.
