Reduction Linocut

The reduction lino method of block printing is where each colour layer is taken from the same block. More lino is removed from the block for each layer and each colour is printed on top of the last. This means that an entire edition must be printed in one go - once you have carved into the block for the next layer, you can't go back to print more- often it is referred to as suicide printing. I use often only two colors in my reduction linocut. Some of the works are sold out, but you can always contact me if you are interested to see what I have in stock.
