Linocut, a relief printing technique, involves working a linoleum block with tools such as gouges and inking rollers, which allow for engraving and printing on paper or other materials. It offers a wide range of expressive possibilities (contrasts, textures, colors). Unlike wood, linoleum is a more flexible and easier-to-use material, making it suitable for everyone.
This printing process has been used by artists and printers worldwide for decades to create works with a specific and expressive look. It is experiencing a resurgence in popularity today, particularly among DIY enthusiasts and graphic artists.

No prerequisites are necessary, accessible to all.
