'Eggardon' Limited Edition Linoprint

An original, handmade linoprint of Eggardon hill. This peaceful hill fort, not far from Dorchester, has the most stunning views over west Dorset towards the coast. It is a limited edition of just 12 prints.

This is printed by hand from a hand-carved lino block using traditional printing techniques. It is a four-layer reduction linocut, a method of block printing in which each colour layer is taken from the same block. More lino is removed from the block for each layer and each colour is printed on top of the last. This means that an entire edition must be printed in one go – once you have carved into the block for the next layer, you can’t go back to print more.

As each print is made by hand, prints may vary slightly and contain minor imperfections - this is all part of the printmaking process.

Please note that unmounted prints will be posted rolled, wrapped in tissue paper.
