===============

Different type of video today, a sort of tutorial for how to make and print with lino. I am by no means an expert, this is just how I do it!

I'm just now getting into lino cutting (age 42) after doing it once in middle school decades ago. Thank you for the tracing paper tip - that's huge.

Super video. I'd never thought of using stamps to ink the lino. Just one thing though, please don't cut towards your fingers. Those cutters are really sharp and can do serious damage to fingers. Best to use a cutting board with a stop on one edge and push the lino to the stop and cut in that direction; you can always turn the lino round as you need to.

I've just done my first ever lino stamp and was so happy to see you use stamps. I wanted a print to show to my friend, but doing the roll on inking would habe been too messy for my tiny room. So this was the perfect solution for a quick first print. Thank you so much. ❤️🙏🏻

I have a five hour mock on lino printing. Haven’t actually done it before and the teacher hasn’t properly told us how to do it. You are my only hope.

Make your own wrapping paper. 😊 As I a kid we did lino sketching in art class, but the technique went away like so many. Glad to see it has returned. Hello from Queensland Australia.

Very insightful to teach us the tracing paper method and even showing your brand of EssDee lino cutters.
Halfway through my college Final Major Project and wanted to experiment with a new printing technique, this's really helped, thank you

Hey Eliott! Just wanted to let you know that your video was SUPER useful. Straight forward and clear. It helped me a lot during my first attempt of lino printing. Thanks!

Such an inspirational and educational video I am getting started with making stamps like that but I'm just a beginner so you trace carve out the outline of whatever it is that you're going to use as a stamp 👍👍👍

I love this. You’ve inspired me to do some.

I had seen this video awhile ago but have just revisited it! I totally forgot about the tracing paper trick! Ive been using carbon transfer paper and its such a pain. Your work is gorgeous, as a fellow print maker; your hand seems so steady!

Thanks for sharing. I'm doing abstract drawing atm and have been wanting to check out lino carving to add some more interesting marks.
