I'm enjoying this really detailed guide to linocut. I still have a ways to go through it but so far I've gone through a few of the exercises. There's a lot of information in this wonderful book! Beautiful imagery!

I was so excited to receive my copy of this book and it more than delivered! I first learned of Sam Marshall through her Instagram and after seeing her work online, I was thrilled to find out that she had written a book!The artwork in "Linocut: A Creative Guide to Making Beautiful Prints" is gorgeous and so inspiring! Along with a ton of useful information (especially for someone who is new to linocutting like myself) there are a ton of step-by-step project ideas that can help you if you're ever wondering where to start or stumped for inspiration. It is such a great resource!

I’ve been slogging through YouTube tutorials for the last few months trying to learn the amazing art of Linocut printmaking and have had the excitement and knowledge sparked by the tutorials but a lack of confidence to move forward with any kind of momentum. I knew I needed a step-by-step, easy to understand, all the info in one place type of book. And here it is! All of the info and precise color photos of each step of each technique. This will be a book I can come back to over and over. And BONUS- for further inspiration and info I am following Sam on Instagram where I can see her work in reels and more photos and also get answers to my questions. #printisnotdead 😏

This is a wonderful book, especially the author's advise for an artist, but I also find it almost impossible to read. The main text is light gray and small. I'll keep it as a good reference, but wish that I could sit down & read it through.

This guide to linocut printmaking is excellent for those learning to create art for the first time right through to advanced printmakers. Every aspect of the process is described clearly, depicted with lovely photos and step by step instruction. The author effectively presents detailed instruction for getting started with simple linocuts all the way to multi-block, relief and experimental prints. The focus is on making the reader truly successful as a printmaker with loads of inspiration from the author and interviews with other professional printmakers. So creatively inspiring and practical at the same time! Excellent!

Buen libro para principiantes, lo recomiendo.

This book is just the right mixture of really good instructions and amazing inspiration. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in linocut printmaking.

This book introduces the basics of linocut printmaking and inspires creativity. It provides clear instructions on carving, inking and pressing techniques, as well as practical tips on choosing materials. Each chapter explores a specific linocut technic with exercises that allow you to practice immediately. I read this book during my summer holidays and haven't stopped carving since. This book has opened up a whole new world to me.

Inspiring and practical

Es como estar dentro de una masterclass con Sam. Además de contar su experiencia, está súper bien estructurado, te enseña diferentes técnicas, materiales, cómo y para qué sirven unas cosas u otras. Es genial, todo un acierto.
