The Printing Process
-
Firstly, we have to draw the picture of the queen we want to be printed, on to the lino. You can either do this free hand or you can use tracing paper.
-
Secondly, using the lino cutters, cut out the drawing making sure that you are doing it right (all the raised area will be printed). When doing this process you have to make sure that you cut away from your body and have to make sure that your fingers arnt in the way to provent hurting yourself.
-
Once you have got your image correct on the lino, you then start to add the prefered coloured ink using a roller, you have to make sure that your roller is not overloaded and the ink is spread evenly over the lino so you dont get any splodges.
-
You then print your lino print on to the chosen fabric.
-
Once the lino is carefully placed onto the fabric, you then use a clean roller and roll over the top so that you know the ink had actually printed onto the fabric all over.
-
Once you have done this carefully lift the lino off the fabric and leave fabric to dry.
