In 2017 I created a DIN A4 lino cut alphabet. Lino cut\u00a0is a\u00a0printmaking technique, in which a sheet of\u00a0linoleum is used for a\u00a0relief surface. A design is cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, V-shaped\u00a0chisel or\u00a0gouge, with the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show printed. The linoleum sheet is inked with a roller, and then impressed onto paper or fabric. I printed several versions of the alphabet you can find in my shop<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some impressions of the making of process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the sketch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had to transfer the sketch mirror-inverted.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Cutting the letters was really hard work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This is the final linocut. The next step was to color the alphabet and print it on paper.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I used a roller and linoprint color to color the plate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Afterwards I put the paper on the plate.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And used a big roller to actually create the print.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I carefully lifted the paper.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And this is the final result.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
