it's a high tech business

it's not just anyone who can take up lino printing - just look at the huge amount of equipment needed...

I've never used a press for printing since leaving college and find my trusty box wood burnishing tools (on the right) to be the best - but if you look closely you can see how worn out the edges are, all those hundreds of prints have taken their toll, and now there's some awful news...my suppliers no longer sell them.  eeeek.  There's nothing better in my world for getting my prints exactly right.  If anyone knows an art shop with a dusty drawer full let me know, I can't imagine anyone did a roaring trade, but I need a new one about every three years...
