Congratulation on the release of your new book. You do lovely work. As a recent convert to linocut printmaking (and ex libris collector) I share your enthusiasm. I'd love to meet up in Paris, but alas, I live in California.

Thankyou! Nice to hear you are an ex libris collector. I often run workshops in linocut based on ex libris, getting everyone to create an ex libris that somehow conveys themselves or their library/ interests. It’s always a really fun starting point and a lovely format to work with, and great to see the variety of approaches that people take

Beautiful work! I have a background in printmaking and I miss relief printing especially, but I don't really have access to the tools or facilities for it anymore. I've thought about getting one of those tiny table top presses but haven't pulled the trigger.

Thanks! I'm not 100% sold on my one to be honest, it does the job for A6 or smaller prints, but really isn't enough pressure for anything bigger ( despite being A4 size). I expect I would need an A2 one to get a good A4 size print. Definitely good for small prints though. I may try different a different option at some point if I can afford it..
