Recensioner i media

For a novice like me interested in exploring a new creative pathway this was a great little book. It covers the basics well and I love the step-by-step picture instructions which guide me through the various projects. The templates at the back are also really useful if you want a quick sure fire way of making your first print a success and I love the ideas of how to use the prints beyond a simple picture print, especially using on fabric. I would recommend this book to anyone wishing to begin linocutting.
