Linocut is one of the simplest forms of relief printing. The process starts by cutting a design into a flat sheet of linoleum, using a knife or a chisel to carve a reverse image. The lino design is then rollered with ink and printed onto paper using a press or a bit of straightforward elbow grease! To celebrate this lo-fi, high impact medium Hermit Editions invited a group of artists to challenge their signature styles, dispense with their macbooks and tablets and get their fingers dirty with the Linocut Project.
