Master the basics and beyond of linocutting with expert tutor and artist, Susan Yeates.

Linocut and screenprinting have undergone a resurgence in recent years. This book teaches the basic techniques for learning to make your own prints under the guidance and tutelage of expert teacher and artist Susan Yeates.

Susan, who also runs the popular 30 Day Sketchbook Challenge, and authored the title Sketchbook Challenge (9781800920453), explains the rudiments of linocutting, and guides you through ten practical and attainable projects including greeting cards, artworks to frame, labels for jam jars, seed packets and bags or tea towels to print and give as personalised presents.

There are handy tips and suggestions throughout the book and each project begins with a list of tools and materials needed.
