The Rico Designs Ricolino Linocut Tool Set is a complete kit for creating linocut prints, suitable for both beginners and experienced printmakers.
This set includes everything you need to start carving lino blocks and making your own prints. It contains a comfortable handle with interchangeable cutting blades in different sizes and shapes. Each blade creates different line widths and effects, allowing you to carve fine details, broad areas, or varied textures into your lino.
What's included:
- Ergonomic handle that's easy to grip and control
-
A gouge, U-shaped, 3 mm gouge, 4 mm gouge, and contour knife
- Each blade cuts differently—from narrow V-shaped grooves to wider U-shaped cuts
- Compact storage, often in a protective case or holder
The tools are designed to cut smoothly through lino without requiring excessive pressure, which makes the carving process safer and more controlled. The interchangeable blade system means you can switch between tools quickly as you work on different parts of your design.
Linocut is a popular printmaking technique where you carve your design into a lino block, roll ink over the raised surface, then press paper onto it to create a print. You can make multiple prints from one carved block, making it perfect for greeting cards, art prints, or fabric printing.
This set gives you all the essential cutting tools in one package, so you don't need to buy individual cutters separately. Great for art students, hobbyists, or anyone wanting to explore relief printing at home.
