Everything you need to start linocut.

A free guide to tools and materials - don't get overwhelmed just get straight to the carving

One of the questions I get asked most is: "What do I actually need to get started?" 

It's a fair one. Social media makes it look like you need a workshop full of expensive tools before you can make your first mark. You don't.

This guide covers everything I'd recommend for a beginner - the cutting tools, inks, lino blocks, and a few extras that make the process easier. Budget options and better ones, so you can choose what works for you.

Hi! My name is Mark!

Based in the coastal town of Falmouth, Cornwall, my work reflects the rugged landscapes and quiet moments found along the shoreline.

For me, linocut is more than just an art form. It is a way to slow down and reconnect with the physical world. There is something deeply satisfying about the resistance of the lino under a sharp blade and the magic of peeling back a piece of paper to reveal a fresh print.

I believe that art should be accessible and tactile. I’ve spent years refining my "purist" approach to printmaking, focusing on traditional methods that anyone can master at home. My goal is to help you move past the fear of making mistakes and find the same sense of focus and calm that I find in my studio every day.
