The fundamental book on a popular printing technique: tools, materials, techniques, projects. In extensively illustrated step-by-step instructions, artist and author Emily Louise Howard teaches the basic techniques for making unique linocuts and rubber prints. This book tells you everything you need to know about tools, materials, cutting and printing methods, and gives you lots of tips - not only on how to handle colours and papers, but also on questions of image composition. Afterwards, craftsmanship is trained and creativity tested in numerous projects. Each project focuses on a specific technique, e.g. multicolour printing, textures or the use of the rainbow roller.
