Love for Lino

When it comes to buying art I am more likely to buy an original hand pulled print than a painting. There is something slightly primitive about lino printing that appeals to me and lino printing is an art form that you can do anywhere - even taking the equipment on holiday! Of all the print making processes I learned at art school I enjoyed lino and silk screen printing the most so to celebrate this lovely craft I have scoured Folksy for some fabulous prints.

I Love ART!

Where can you buy original art direct from emerging contemporary artists at a snip? Folksy of course! Buy before they get famous and reap the benefits of owning an original masterpiece. I would blow my children's inheritance on art, if there was any inheritance for them, that is!
