Artist Maria Doering is holding a mini Takach brayer with yellow lithography ink on it. About to ink up the last colour of 8 on an original linocut block handcarved by the artist.

Inky table in the studio.

One full day of pulling one of these 8 colour prints. 6h of inking, 1h of hand printing and 2h of clean up.

The big reveal, Maria is pulling a colourful cellular image off the carved matrix after running it through a printing press.

New pulled multi colour proof

It takes 4 hours to ink this intricate block

So many inking rollers and ink layer out on the glass palettes. A big mess to clean up

It’s been a long day of pulling proofs and making messes, but I am delighted to have a plan for the edition now.
