Intaglio is any printmaking technique where the image is produced by etching into the printing plate - the etched line or area holds the ink, which in turn creates the printed image. I use etching, predominantly with aquatint.

Mokuhanga is the traditional Japanese woodblock printmaking technique that uses water based inks. The negative areas of the image are carved out of wood. Printing is then carried out by hand using a baren.

A linocut is a relief print produced by using small cutting tools to carve out non-printing areas of the linoleum. The remaining (non cut) area of the lino holds the ink from which the image is printed.

Screen printing is the process of transferring a stencilled design via a mesh screen. Using a squeegee, the ink passes through the screen where there is no barrier on the mesh; this creates the image.

Cyanotype is process where objects are placed on a surface treated with light-sensitive chemicals and exposed to UV light/ sunlight. The areas exposed to UV light turn blue, while the areas covered remain white.
