Lino cut 

Lino cut can also be called Linoleum cut. Lino cutting is were you get a sheet of linoleum and you engrave a design into the linoleum and doing this makes lino cutting and woodcut similar in aspects.

Printing process

When you have engraved your design into the piece of linoleum you then roll printing ink over the top of the linoleum, you need to make sure that their are no bumps on the roller when you apply the ink to the linoleum, once you have applied the ink to the linoleum you then need to place a piece of paper on top of the design and then apply high amounts of pressure on top of the paper and then lift the paper up from the linoleum and if you have done everything correctly you should have a bold image of your design on this piece of paper.

Here is one of my favorite linoleum cut designers.

These linoleum cuts were created by the talents of Kazuno Kohara.

Kazuno Kohara used linoleum cut to create all illustrations in the book called Ghosts in the House!,
and how she has used linoleum cuts works well with the element of child friendly with its big bold shapes to create the characters and items in the childrens book.
