Frequently Asked Questions
About the Work
What is a reduction lino print and how is it made?
A reduction print is a relief printmaking process in which multiple colours are printed from a single block. Typically, the lightest colour is printed first, after which more of the block is carved away to print the next, darker colour.
As we continuously carve into the same block, cutting away more detail at each stage, the block is gradually destroyed and can never be used again. This means that every edition is truly limited. Once the block has been fully carved and the final prints have been made, it is impossible to reproduce the image from that block again.
Are prints signed and numbered?
Yes, all prints are signed, dated and edition in pencil on the front.
What materials do you use?
My artwork is created using traditional lino print techniques. I use a combination of specialist tools and materials throughout the process.
I carve my designs using Pfeil lino cutting tools, working into sheets of traditional linoleum. Once the design is carved, I print by using a Pookie press.
For inks, I use Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash Relief inks, which are oil-based inks designed for easy cleanup while still giving high quality prints.
I print onto a variety of different papers, choosing each one depending on the texture, weight, and finish I want for the final piece. If you would like to know more, please don't hesitate to contact me!
