JOHN STEINS REVISITED

I have mentioned the wonderful website of John Steins in earlier posts and all of the fantastic printmaking information available there. I spent a little more time there this morning and found a post on a Lino-cut technique that I absolutely will try in the future. It's the 'Jigsaw Method' in which the lino block is cut into sections so they can be inked separately. This makes gradated inking much easier. The block is then re-assembled on the press and printed all at once.
