What is linocut and what are bookplates?
Linocut is an artistic printing technique that uses an engraved linoleum plate to reproduce images or writing on paper, fabric, or cardboard. The term derives from “linoleum” and the Greek “grapho,” meaning “to write” or “to draw.” It has been used since ancient times to reproduce works of art and more!
Bookplates are personalized stamps that often somehow represent the owner’s personality and are used to mark the ownership of books.
During the workshop, you can draw inspiration from Federico’s suggestions, who has prepared ready-made botanical-themed graphics to transfer onto the plate, or create your own design!
