Lino Printing

In Art this term, Year 5 have been learning about lino printing. Lino Printing is a form of block printing that involves carving a pattern or design into a linoleum, rubber or vinyl surface that can then be printed from.

In today’s lesson, we carved our final design into the sheet of lino. This proved difficult, with some injuries, but we all managed to ensure we created the planned design.

The next step was to begin to print. We have decided to use two contrasting colours, so have printed one set today and will do the other next week. First we put paint onto the lino that covered our design, then we placed it onto the paper, rollered on top and then lifted the lino.
