This was such a well presented tutorial- probably one of the best tutorials I’ve seen! Very friendly, well spoken and succinct with the information. Thank you so much, I now feel like I know what to do and it only took 20 minutes!

[@Handprinteduk]

Thanks Elliot! That's so lovely to hear

[@mom2mmpt]

Even three years later, it's still a great tutorial!

[@platoschauvet]

can't believe this was twenty minutes long, you're a great teacher. I swear it seemed like five, but so much helpful information

[@Handprinteduk]

Thank you! That means a lot

[@neildunbar1231]

I thoroughly enjoyed that, I have ever only had one go at linocutting when I was in school, ( I am now 70 years old) I might just take it up again to complement my wood carvings.

[@Handprinteduk]

Thanks so much for watching. I really hope you take up linocutting again!

[@derrickemmett9623]

You probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the account password. I would love any tips you can give me!

[@derrickemmett9623]

@Mordechai Brooks i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@derrickemmett9623]

@Mordechai Brooks it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my account!

[@emmavj6120]

What an absolutely brilliant tutorial. So clearly explained and demonstrated, thank you!

[@aljincagas625]

You're a delight to listen to. You're so articulate. Your tutorial is clear and well presented.

[@pathazanov6341]

A terrific tutorial. Helped me decide how to start out. Comparison of tools and lino products indispensable. Thank you. Thank you.

[@Handprinteduk]

Thanks, Pat!

[@julia100801]

Enjoyed every second of this! Can't wait to start my project!

[@bugbot2006]

I’m working on an enormous linocut project and videos like this are a great help in seeing the process through fresh eyes. Thanks!

[@Handprinteduk]

That's great to hear, thank you!

[@irenedavo3768]

Did you finish it?

[@johncrow2457]

the part on the brush is the 'ferrule' 🙂 lovely video and presentation very clear, well done. thanks

[@alisonm5568]

What a clear tutorial. You are a natural teacher.

[@kaugusta1]

Thanks for this tutorial! The bits about the chatter/background, and how to plan that or utilize it, was really helpful.

[@jonofo]

Such a useful no nonsense tutorial! Thank you, very helpful 😊

[@bobbzbelle1]

This is such a great video! Clear instructions given in a video that is so satisfying to watch. I feel confident enough now to have a go with my new set! Thank you so much xx

[@binkieinkisham2519]

Great tutorial, knowing that the lino has to be fresh was really useful, thanks

[@cloudgoose]

I really appreciate how short & comprehensive this guide was. The other most helpful guide I found was 7 videos long. That’s nice for clarity, but this simple & quick tutorial is so helpful & inspiring! Thank you!

[@Handprinteduk]

Thank you for watching! So glad you found it helpful

[@TheYoshi3579]

What a lovely tutorial! Thank you for this. I’ve only done Lino once when I was quite little, but have been too intimidated to start. Immediately getting out my supplies and having a go at it now, so thank you!!!

[@udaysingh6828]

The way your hand moves with the tools is just amazing.🖤

[@Scarecrowking]

Look, before I even get into the video I want to give you big props for making a video this good on your phone. A lot of people get indimitated by not having the proper equipment for youtube, but you just make up for it with fantastic arcticulation of speech and great content. That's quality right there, rather than just having the right camera.

[@Handprinteduk]

Thank you! We started making them at home in lockdown so it was very much use what you have!

[@noahsagerhighlights6]

Love your excellent teaching. I’m a wood cutter. Cannot be as precise as I’ve noticed with the linocuts. Have been too shy about trying Lino. Now with your teaching - I’m believing I’ll be brave and hooked for precision in the Lino. Thank you. And you are adorable ☺️
