First Ink.

First ink on a newly cut lino block.

I love that moment when I roll the first layer of ink onto a new lino block, seeing the image appear out of the light grey surface. It always gives me a thrill. It’s never the same again because when you clean the block at the end of a session, the light grey bits get stained with the ink.

This little block, is an experiment for a larger block which is inspired by the Welsh Miner’s Wives during the Miners Strike in the UK in the 1980s.
