Linocut Studio
The Mall ,Ramelton, Co Donegal
Hand printed linocuts of birds and animals native to Ireland and Britain. A linocut is a relief print, like a woodcut. The image is carved out of a lino block and what remains will print when the inked roller is passed over the top of the block. Paper is laid on the inked block and burnished by hand or passed through a press which leaves an impression.
All linocuts are hand printed on 100% acid free block printing paper. Some variation of colour and tone is to be expected as this is a hand applied process (not a digital print) so each print is an original piece of art.
