Love for Lino


When it comes to buying art I am more likely to buy an original hand pulled print than a painting. There is something slightly primitive about lino printing that appeals to me and lino printing is an art form that you can do anywhere - even taking the equipment on holiday! Of all the print making processes I learned at art school I enjoyed lino and silk screen printing the most so to celebrate this lovely craft I have scoured Folksy for some fabulous prints.

Some great work there! I love the birds and Harbour print especially. Haven't done much printing since college (scarily 20 yrs ago!) Would love to do some more one day :)

Fab images! The monotone animal prints are my fave. So much detail.
