The Crafts Shelf Linocut Sam Marshall Herbert Press c/o Bloomsbury www.bloomsbury.com 9781789940701, $26.00 https://www.amazon.com/Linocut-Creative-Making-Beautiful-Prints/dp/1789940702 Linocut: A Creative Guide to Making Beautiful Prints features eighteen projects that can be adapted to a variety of subjects, and shows how to create unique prints suitable for cards and other applications. Everyday life subjects encourage budding artists to draw their inspiration from familiar ideas and experiences, fostering the fine art of observational drawing, while step-by-step instructions use low-cost materials and experimental techniques for superior results. Examples from Marshall's own efforts as well as those of five other printmakers contribute to a crafts guide embedded with easy approaches that encourage both linocut art and creative effort, making for a top recommendation for libraries and artists alike.
