Home Printmaking Resources
I decided to create a printmaking resources page for home printmakers filled with blog posts and other places on the web for important information to come back to.
The goal of this page is to help other home printmakers find the resources they need to be successful in their printmaking efforts.
Over time I will add some of the information I find, or posts I have written to this page. Please bookmark it or pin it for future reference.

Printmaking for Beginners
Printmaking for Beginners is the group you want to join if you want to explore printmaking as a beginner. If you started with linocut and have moved into other printmaking methods such as intaglio or lithography, this is the group for you. This is also the group run by Mary is Contrary.
Linocut Friends
Linocut Friends group is very active and they provide very good information and help for linocut printmakers. They only provide info and accept posts for linocut only. They are very strict about that. However, there are other groups I will list that provide help for other forms of printmaking.

Printmaking News group provides a community for all printmakers to share their work and to ask for help.

We Love Lino Prints on Fabric group is for Block Printers who print their linocut blocks onto fabric. They are very friendly and helpful.

This group is not as active on Facebook, but it is a great way to find cool printmaking presses that are for sale. I have noticed that a lot of presses are usually for sale in the UK.

I just recently found this group and it has some cool ideas for experimenting with different forms of printmaking.
Other Cool Printmaking Sites
Briar Press
Briar Press is technically a letterpress website. It technically is a form of relief print making and woodcut and linocut can cross over into letterpress. They have a great forum as well as letterpress machines for sale and resources to find parts.
