Traditional grey lino single sided with a hessian back. Some printers prefer this traditional material because it feels like cutting sandstone. It also has a distinctive scent of linseed oil. I offer 3 different qualities, please see the other options within my lino category. I also offer a mixed pack for those who want to try each different quality.
For hessian backed lino, avoid drenching in soapy water because it takes days to dry and can cause damage over time. Available in 1 size, A6 or 10/15cm. For water based inks, rub with a damp cloth. For oil based, use a little vegetable oil to loosen the ink then a damp cloth.
Block is approximately 3mm thick, brand UK based printmakers Essdee. Some workshop feedback tells me this quality is easier & safer to carve than modern lino blocks due to the added oils & minerals. Draw your design directly with a pencil onto the lino surface, rub away mistakes with your finger or a damp cloth. Use tracing paper to flip your design sketch - remember your lino block is a mirror image of your design.
