Review
The centuries-old art form of block printing is experiencing something of a revival, and this book makes the ideal introduction to the technique. From selecting and sourcing tools, paper and ink, the author shows in clear stages how to carve both linoleum and wood, using one or more colours to achieve professional results. The book closes with a gallery of finished prints, offering plenty of inspiration to would-be printers.-Leisure Painter If you've always wanted to try lino printing this book is an ideal introduction, it covers how to use linoleum and wood, how to transfer a design, how to carve properly and safely, how to print by hand using more than one colour, how to properly clean and care for your tools and your block. A well written, well illustrated guide that'd be great for beginners and more experienced alike.-Handmade Living

This review is from: Block Printing: Techniques for Linoleum and Wood (Paperback)
This book is a great step by step guide for the beginner block printer. I loved it! Even the advice on just how to hold the tools was wonderful! I felt like I was back in art school.

Great Basic Instruction, Mar 13 2012

This review is from: Block Printing: Techniques for Linoleum and Wood (Paperback)
This is a great little book on block printing covering all the basics including safety, tools, types of blocks, inks, and paper. It is a book I would categorize as a survey that touches on all of the important aspects of the process. If you want more detailed, historically-focused, or in-depth instruction in relief printmaking then this might not be your book. But, this book really covers the basics well and includes information that I haven't seen elsewhere and does so with both words and pictures. If I were to teach a weekend course in beginning block printing I would include this book on the list of materials as a great reference.
