I've wanted to etch a huge sheet of lino for some time now - printing it with a lawn roller as it wouldn't fit in to even the largest available press.
With very little time available I have decided to carry out this ligistical nightmare in time for the Chocolate Factory Open Studios in November.
I've collected my rolls of floor lino - I want a piece at least 2 metres x 2 metres.
Building up my image as the first stage in acid resist.
Drawing my inspiration from landscapes but still keeping my work abstract.
The acid resist material all in place, and the gloopy acid pasted on for the night.
Managed to drag the lino dripping and slopping down to the carpark to hose it down. Took 3 hours to get all the acid and loose lino off.
Cleaned and rerolled, ready to cart up to the studio for flattening, drying and inking.
Choosing my lawn roller from HSS Tool Hire - going for the cleanest one.
