Synopsis

Jane Spink, founder of Inky Dog Studio, shares her working process for developing linocut prints drawn from the world around you. The book moves from initial sketches and reference photos through exploratory “doodles” that help you find marks you enjoy carving, before guiding you towards cutting a final design into a block.

An introductory chapter and demonstration exercise outline key techniques, followed by ten projects that build skills progressively as you work. Along the way, you will learn to carve birds, flowers, leaves and more, with templates provided for each project, plus guidance on developing your own designs. Suitable for readers interested in nature-inspired, graphic printmaking and those looking for an accessible route into lino printing.
