Barros Prints specialises in lino printing.
A form of block printing were you create your own physical design by hand, and involves at least these three steps:
- Designing the artwork (either drawing on paper and developing your idea or drawing straight onto a linoleum block)
- Carving the artwork (using specific carving tools to carefully carve out your design from a lino block)
- Printing the artwork (applying ink to your carved out block and transferring the design on to paper)
The final outcome slowly emerges and creates beautiful images where no two prints are the exact same.
All of our designs are inspired by nature, a place where people experience so much peace and joy. We aim to capture a glimpse of that feeling, offering small moments of calm and wonder into everyday life.
