Reviews of Learning Linocut

Picture
_13.12.11 - "I bought a copy of your book 'Learning Linocut' this August, and just to prove that people do really benefit from books like this I attach my Christmas card for this year, my second only linocut, based on a photo of my house 'Y Nyth' (The Nest) in Wales, in the deep snow last year.
The book is great and I keep going back and re reading it. Thank you for your inspiration."

Graham Hughes, Dec 2011

27.02.12 - "I have this book by Su Yates. It's a brilliant book and has really helped my on my degree as has the press that she sells. The books covers a lot of ground in a short space and is always clear and informative. It uses the technical terminology but never waffles on. There are also examples from professional and esteemed printmakers at the top of the game right down to beginner work so there is always something for the individual to begin to understand whatever their level. Kitchen sink methods are also discussed, so this book would make a great gift for someone looking to get into any type of creative craft such Lino/Relief printmaking on a tight budget as well as artists wishing to expand on their craft skills.

13.11.11 - "I bought this book directly from the author, after doing one of her linocut workshops, and it's brilliant. The instructions are clear and easy to follow if you are a novice, like me. There is also a lot of sample artwork to give you ideas. I had no idea I'd be able to create such detailed pieces, just from bits of lino!

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning linocut, or about it."

31.10.11 - "I bought this book as a present for my sister. She cannot rate it enough. As a novice to linocutting it gives you a contextual background to the craft as well as providing you with a more holisitc approach to your art work with linocutting, for example by giving information about how to develop a sketchbook of ideas and create ideas and designs from sources of inspiration. I think this is invaluable alongside the 'how to' practical approach to any craft as the craft is only as good as your imagination. Pictures and projects were all very inspirational. "

02.08.11 - "I have recently bought and read your book "Learning Linocut" and I wanted to say how inspirational I have found it. Before reading the book I had done my first linocut and since then have been trawling round the internet for more information which is no longer necessary as you cover all the things I want to know about and more.

Again many thanks for a great book.

A bientot from rural France!!"
