Thank you for making this video!

Oh thank you si much for that! I was used cleaning after waterbased inks, and if i didnt find your video… i would’ve never cleaned this caligo safe wash 😅

Meant kindly. Lino is pronounced, lye-no.

Do you teach online?

Hello sarah! Which ink should i use if i want to print on fabric or a t-shirt? Thanks 😊

Thank you! 😊

Just curious, why don’t you just run a clean brayer over the top instead of a wooden spoon?

Wonderful deoms and the toothpick baren is amazing! :-)

Thanks, Sarah, this was enormously informative.

Really helpfull. I realize that I've got multiple processes in my head. I need to pick 1, and do that.

Thank you so much. This is about the 5th video I've watched. Am printmaking at home; trying to learn the process, and develop a regular art practice. You really put information together in a logical, orderly way that I appreciate. You teach well.

Thank you. This video is really helpful. I saw it about a year and a half ago and I realized that I totally did the wrong thing. I didn't get it. I didn't get the order. I sealed the illustration board before I tore out the pieces. It really didn't work well . Anyway, are re there thicker illustration boards in existence that would allow you to do reduction tecnique as if it was lino? I mean is there any illustration board that would be thick enough? You transfer the image onto the board, and then cut out the area, and then print it. That layer would represent one color. Then you remove some more for the next layer of a different color and so on. Is that possible with this material? The other thing I was thinking of was kind of a reverse addition rather than a reduction paired meaning you would print one layer then add shapes on top of the board reseal it and then print that new layer in another color, and so on. Have you ever done this?

Hi Sarah! thank you so much. I see you havent uploaded in a while, Hope you are alright.

Thanks, this was so helpful. I can see that I have been really using my tools in the wrong way.

Thanks this it was really helpful. I really like the Japanese woodblock technique, but I like stronger, more graphic images or marks. Have you ever carved your block, and then sealed it with either acrylic paint? Or acrylic medium, or even what Woodworkers use to seal wood so that it doesn't absorb water ? Will that ruin the print in some way? If the block is going to suck in the first layers of ink anyway, then why not just seal the wood, and then print the image?

Super good video Sarah! Thank you!

Thank you for this very helpful information.

Great tips! I wish I could have seen what you were doing-maybe zoom in? I just started a linoleum block and needed a refresher course since it has been a few decades since high school 😅. I bought a piece of linoleum that’s always supposed to be soft and has a long shelf life. I find it very easy to carve. I also like the Speedball tool I bought that has storage in the handle for the interchangeable blades. Less to store and I can always find them. Thx 👍🏼😊

To tint the woodblock before carving, are you thinning your Indian Ink with rubbing alcohol, distilled water, or linseed oil?

Thank you.

Great video. So full of useful information. Thank you sharing your knowledge.

Enjoyed video found it interesting and informative and I would like to thank you for showing us your techniques for upcycling house hold items..🎨✍🇨🇦🇺🇲💛

Fantástico, Gracias

What kind of paint did you use?

Thank you, I was just struggling with this before I found your video

I really love your work and was hoping to try this with my kids. You inspired me to order a credit card machine from eBay... unfortunately the inside is very different from the one you show here and I'm at a loss on how to convert it

your videos are some of the best art instruction material i've seen on youtube, thanks so much!

Thank you for these videos - they are really helpful - I am new to carving and printing! Is there a template available for the sampler block to use for practicing cutting skills?

The Japannese micro carving tools are made from horse syringes ,simply gring the needle tip to the relief you want than sharpen the bottom edge ,drill a tiny hole (a little larger) into the stick of wood along with some superglue and away you go a gouge ,for a V gouge you need to grind the desired angle onto the edge of a piece of steel ,now once you get the relief you desire put the ground edge of the piece of steel into the relief and close up a vice on it ,than sharpen and away you go .

Here is a secret when carving wood always make a stop cut at the end of the line to eliminate the jaggered edges at the end example if you are carving with the gouge at the end of each line drive the tool straight into or drive it at a desired angle no go to the start and guage toward the stop cut and when you get to the stop cut the chip will fall away and leave a smooth edge.

I also do wood carving have you tried the small size electric chissel its like a miniture jackhammer very easy on your hands and many carving /cutting bits can be adapted to fit,much easier than driving a chissel by hand and much more precise.

excellent lessons, just what i needed, thank you!

Thanks ,I am retired and restarted printmaking after 50 years , using my 3d printer I built one of the mini press and yes it works ok,I make all my plates on the 3d printer as well,now I have built one of your credit card slider machines however I had to deviate from your instructions ,I gutted the entire roller system and attached a 4 inch breyer minus its handle to the sliding head,also I used some 3.5 mm plywood to reline the bed ,for blankets I got some 1mm foam sheets ,now to make up some plates for this device and away I go . Again THANKS ...WCH

What about rice paper? Smooth side with that, too, or the textured side? Thanks! I learned a lot!

I was just about to comment on another video requesting help on this topic. But you're way ahead of me 🎉😊 perfect!! Thanks for the free and concise education. I'm a single mom getting into lino for the first time with no budget for formal classes. This is enormously helpful!

Gracias muy bueno tu video

Toomuch talking

Awesome video! I was looking for one that was longer with more information and here you are! Thanks for putting this up, definitely wanna give this a try!

may i know the name of that sheet material?

Today I did my first carving on a soft carving pad. You are a very informative teacher. It was enjoyable to listen and watch your video. Thank you, Sandy.

what a great video thanks you . I leaned wood cutting and printing from my father. never did to much through the years. since i retired started up and during the pandemic went all in just love it and learning so much on you tube . thanks again jane

Love all your videos - you’re an excellent, engaging, and generous teacher! I’ve watched all your videos over and over - please, please make more!

oh hell yeah this is exciting

Great info! loved the end result. Great prints!

Thanx for the video. Curios why you would want to sand the acrylic paint off your wood? Can't you just seal it with a good coat of spray shellac?

This is full of very important information for me so thanks!

This was EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you so much for uploading this video!. 🥰🥰🥰

Probably the best video explanation I’ve seen
