Printmakers Handbook: Linocut Black and White

By Lesedi Ramushu and Property Of Studio

Printmakers Handbook: Linocut Black and White is your hands-on companion for diving into linocut printmaking. It's all about working with just black and white-using contrast, texture, and the marks you carve to tell your story.
Built from real studio work, this book walks you through everything-what tools you need, how to carve, how to ink and print, and how to edition your work. Working in just black and white isn't limiting-it actually makes your images stronger and forces you to think harder about composition.

But this isn't just about technique. Printmaking changes how you think and see. It asks you to slow down, be intentional, and respect the process-mess-ups, do-overs, and weird experiments included. That's all part of it.
I wrote this for people like me-self-taught, working in cramped spaces, figuring it out as they go. If you're in art school, teaching yourself at home, or just curious about printmaking, this should help. No fancy equipment required.
Printmakers Handbook: Linocut Black and White is meant to stick around on your studio shelf-not something you flip through once and forget about.
