This is a reduction method of printmaking. Very soft blocks (not really linoleum) will be carved with linoleum cutting tools, then ink will be applied with a soft brayer and printed onto paper. More cutting, then the process is repeated as many times as necessary to print all the colors needed.

Students will work with the soft material on a wooden "holder," which should go a long way toward preventing accidental cuts. It will be necessary for students to exercise caution while using the cutting tools.
