The best part about trying a new project is learning a new skill. One of my favorite articles in each issue of CRAFT is the 101.

Back in CRAFT Volume 02, Donna Barger shared her linocut expertise with us in beautifully clear step-by-step, from making your design and transferring it to the linoleum:

To rolling your ink and pulling your print. She includes helpful tips and tricks on tools and technique throughout. Here is the project shared with you in our Digital Edition. Make sure to swing on by the Maker Shed to pick up a back issue of Volume 02, if you don't have one already!
