Linocut

Sam Marshall’s new linocut book positively fizzes with the author’s energy and enthusiasm for her subject. Beautifully and extensively illustrated, largely with her own exuberant prints of her life in the English countryside, she carefully nurtures the reader on their own creative journey with a series of practical, well explained and easy to follow linocutting and drawing projects plus plenty of invaluable practical advice relevant both to the complete beginner and to the more experienced practitioner. Sam’s focus is very much on empowering the reader to engage confidently with their chosen art medium and I have no doubt that her warm and inclusive approach will charm and enthuse all her readers. I highly recommend it. * Anne Desmet, printmaker, RA *In this beautiful and lively book, you feel welcomed into the world of relief printing. The instructions are well set out with easily understood practical guidance, and such a friendly vibe, you can’t fail to want to grab your tools and get started. – Maggie Jennings, Royal Drawing School and Heatherleys School of ArtU.K.-based artist Sam Marshall’s Linocut (…) makes doing it yourself feel approachable, with friendly, precise instructions and projects that build in degrees of complexity * Bookpage *A beautiful book… now a popular hobby, this would make a perfect present. * Dorset Magazine *
