This is only my 4th attempt but it took a few steady hours. It's fairly small too, the paper is A5.
I'm working up to doing 2 or 3 colour but I don't want to run till I can walk! Also, materials aren't cheap. I intend to try selling these as a fun sideline but if I keep spunking £££ on ruined Lino then it won't be viable.
For a great website devoted to it check out Linocut Boy - very inspiring and informative. If I was darn sarf I'd consider taking one of his courses.

There's a guy in Sheffield called James Green who does lino courses.

The lino isn't that cheap when you're getting through a lot of it. I wonder if there's some cheap alternative substance that's good for practising on?
I'll take a look at Linocut Boy.I really need to get my DIY screen printing rig set up again. It's been way too long!

Nice. How long does a linocut take you generally? I've only tried it a few times but found it very satisfying. Especially after i found out about that lino that's softer than normal and far less hard work to cut. I tried a 2-colour lino cut once, which I really liked the look of. I have a friend who does lino and wood cuts - he tends to do 3-4 colour reductive cuts, which I don't think i'd have the balls to do!
