Very cool tutorial. I must admit I clicked because I wanted to see you carve the images in the thumbnail BUT I LOVED the paintbrushes! So helpful thank you ❤

You're a delight to listen to. You're so articulate. Your tutorial is clear and well presented.

This was such a well presented tutorial- probably one of the best tutorials I’ve seen! Very friendly, well spoken and succinct with the information. Thank you so much, I now feel like I know what to do and it only took 20 minutes!

I thoroughly enjoyed that, I have ever only had one go at linocutting when I was in school, ( I am now 70 years old) I might just take it up again to complement my wood carvings.

The tip about holding your cutting tool differently to how you hold a pencil is actually super helpful! I always struggle to control my lines when I'm cutting lino and never thought about changing my grip.

can't believe this was twenty minutes long, you're a great teacher. I swear it seemed like five, but so much helpful information

[emmavj]

[alisonm]

Awesome vid! Can't wait to get printing!!

[pathazanov]

A terrific tutorial. Helped me decide how to start out. Comparison of tools and lino products indispensable. Thank you. Thank you.

I really appreciate how short & comprehensive this guide was. The other most helpful guide I found was 7 videos long. That’s nice for clarity, but this simple & quick tutorial is so helpful & inspiring! Thank you!

What a lovely tutorial! Thank you for this. I’ve only done Lino once when I was quite little, but have been too intimidated to start. Immediately getting out my supplies and having a go at it now, so thank you!!!

[gayedavies]

I just ordered £100 worth of your goods to take my carving to the next level. Love this! I ve just started again after years of not carving. I love it.

[olbpnsc]

Thank you for all that info and enthusiasm. I'm about to take the dive in!

[noahsagerhighlights]

[katesutherland]

Just starting my journey down this fascinating path, and your video was not only informative but reassuring.

[kaugusta]

Thanks for this tutorial! The bits about the chatter/background, and how to plan that or utilize it, was really helpful.

[laurencefilo]

Wonderful and thorough introductory lesson. Thank you!

[SuperIloveonedirecti]

Beautifully done tutorial. Beginner here, and will give it a go. Thank you for all the tips and I can listen to your voice all day!

Look, before I even get into the video I want to give you big props for making a video this good on your phone. A lot of people get indimitated by not having the proper equipment for youtube, but you just make up for it with fantastic arcticulation of speech and great content. That's quality right there, rather than just having the right camera.
