International Print Exchange
The International Print Exchange is an annual event organised by Green Door Printmaking Studio in Derby. The idea is each printmaker submits an edition of 10 prints - the theme is open but the size is specified. One print is kept for exhibition and archive, one is sold to fund the exchange and the remaining 8 are sent out to each participating printmaker, who receives a random selection. It is a great way to have your work exhibited and to collect prints from other printmakers. The deadline is the end of August. Go to the website for more information

Artists who use lino cuts
Many artists use lino cuts as a way to explore different media. The
sharp lines can be very expressive. Book illustrators use the technique
to create simple single or two colour images particularly for children's
books.
Edward Bawden (1903-1989)
Edward was a graphic artist and printmaker, known for his book illustrations and scenes of London.Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)
This prolific artist relentlessly experimented with different media and produced many lino cuts, which suited the Cubist approach.Sybil Andrews (1898-1992)
Sybil worked as a welder during both world wars and learned her printmaking techniques via a correspondents course. Her dynamic lino prints often showed people at work and were influenced by Futurism, an art movement concerned with the movement and energy of life.Saturday 4 January 2020
Monotype
Monotype is a simple printmaking technique, sometimes known as a painterly print because is it as much a painting as it is a print. Each print is unique (hence the term 'mono') but can be built up and slightly changed each time. The following examples are by Chris Mullins, Adam Flanagan, Janet May Robinson, Kirsti Wakelin and George Pratt.
