Methods: Reduction and Multi-Block Lino

This week: 

Unfortunately, due to scheduling issues - I wasn’t able to make use off the silkscreen space in hte University campus in time for this module. (However - that doesn’t mean I can’t try this method during the next modules!) 

I have decided to better spend this time expanding my familiartiy with my favourite printing material - Linocut. 

While I enjoy how Linoleum has a psuedo-malluability to it - I have always found reduction and multi-block prints very intimidating to approach. They require a strong foresight into how each print layer fits together and ability to plan ahead.
