Printmaking Workshop: Lino Block Reduction

Lino Block Reduction is a multi-layered printmaking technique where a single block is carved, printed, and then carved again to create each color layer. As you work through the process, the block is gradually reduced, resulting in a beautifully layered print. In this workshop, I’ll guide you through each step, from carving to inking, allowing you to create a vibrant, multi-colored print by the end of the session.
