Essdee : Lino Block : 3.2mm : 90x90cm : Pack of 10

Essdee Lino is especially made for "linocut" relief printmaking. It is 3.2mm thick and comes in one large roll that can be cut down to custom sizes and shapes. Linoleum is the definitive carving material and made using natural ingredients such as linseed oil and wood flour.The surface of the lino is cut away using special lino cutters or a knife to form the basis of the lino print. The block is inked up with a roller (known as a brayer) and this creates a positive image when printed onto paper or fabric. The printing process can be done by hand or with a press. You can use water-based lino ink, oil-based lino ink, or a block printing medium mixed with paint. You can prepare your lino by lightly sanding the surface with fine sandpaper, and you can soften it to ease cutting by gently warming. This lino is 3.2mm thick and 90 x 90 cm. Pack of 10.
