LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
To follow a structured process in order to develop skilful and refined outcomes which combine techniques and processes.
​
TASK:
Identify and understand the areas the you will need to cut first (see pink illustration below). You will start by carefully cutting around your outlines (but not inside the coloured shapes). Use the thin v-shaped Lino cutter for this job.
Next, you will need to use the wider u-shaped Lino cutting tool to scoop out the shapes inside your object and also in the background. Think along the lines of...whatever you cut will stay beige in the print.
​
MATERIALS:
Lino cutting tools, hand protectors, concentration.

​
TASK:
Ink up your Lino with yellow ink. Make sure you apply the ink in a nice smooth layer. Use the special measure brackets to line up your paper correctly and then roll over your paper with a dry roller to press the Lino and the paper together.

When you are ready you can ink up your Lino design with red ink and print this onto the yellow layer.
