Card cut is a technique that was used by some of the Great Bardfield artists, such as Sheila Robinson. It is a relief printing process in which the layers of card are cut and peeled away leaving the different levels of raised areas, or the card surface scored, textured or cut into. The card plate is then inked and printed. Learn how to plan and cut and print an image. Use masking techniques and cut up your plate to produce a range of varied shaped and multi-coloured images.
