Inking a Linocut Block - Demonstration from Masterclass

In this video I demonstrate how to ink up a linocut block ready to print onto a greetings card. This is a sample video from my online masterclass - 'Linocut Masterclass: Handprinted Greetings Cards'
Learn everything you need to know about linocutting and making cards!
This special masterclass with experienced artist, author and tutor Susan Yeates, teaches you everything that you need to know about creating your own greetings cards using linocut.
It covers the whole process in detail from preparing designs, to cutting the lino, inking and of course printing your finished cards.
Plus there are plenty of top tips, ways to find inspiration, advanced techniques (multiple colour prints), further projects and advice on tools and materials along the way. Suitable for beginners or anyone looking to make high-quality cards.

Thank you for this! Up until now I've just pressed ink pads all over the print and then put it to paper. That has stopped working for me though so I thought I'd better figure out the proper way to do it lol

Hi and thank you for your wonderful video. I was wondering if it is beneficial for my lino to be warmed up a little before inking it up? I live in a colder climate ans have found warming the lino is very helpful when carving but wondering if it would also help with inking up and printing. TIA
