Description
This is a description of lino blocks, which are made of grey lino and are available in a range of sizes and packs. The blocks have a fabric backing and are cut away using special lino cutters or a knife to form the basis of the lino print. The surface of the lino is then inked up with a roller (known as a brayer) and this creates a positive image when printed onto paper or fabric. The printing process can be done by hand or with a press.
