What is reduction Linocut?
This relief technique uses the same block for every layer of color in the print. The artist works from light to dark developing the image by carving away more information from the composition. Challenging, efficient and fun! Toni's class begins Wednesday.

Instructor: Antionette Vogt
Reduction Linocut is a multi-colored relief printing method which uses the same piece of linoleum for each color. From start to finish, students will learn how to plan their design, carve each consecutive layer, and print each color on top of the last.
