I stumbled across two fabulous videos from the 1950s. Both deal with making art with linoleum! First up is this video about lino cutting:
Lino cutting is very similar to stamp carving. I think it's more difficult than stamp carving because linoleum is a tougher material. On the other hand, because linoleum is a tougher material, the blocks are very hardy. If you're interested in trying linoleum cutting, you can find a little starter kit that includes the block, the tools, ink, etc here.
The second video is all about creating mosaics and other home decor items with colored linoleum!
As soon as I finished the video I immediately started a search to see what else I could find on the topic.
Procuring Linoleum Tiles: I started to get confused because searching for linoleum tile I came across a lot of vinyl tile. Is it the same thing? The answer is no. Here's an article about the difference. Unfortunately, I didn't find a lot of places where you could buy brightly colored linoleum (not vinyl) tiles in bright colors. There are some on etsy and ebay. But you can find plenty of vinyl tile. A lot of it is in natural stone and wood colors/patterns. But I think playing with some of the wood-like stuff could be quite cool! Also, I assume you could buy samples or remnants from a flooring store.
Instructions: I found these instructions online for a kids project making a linoleum mosaic.
Artwork: I found an artist named Bill Miller who makes lots of linoleum mosaics.
Here's one of his pieces:
Have you every played with linoleum? What are uses have you found for it? I'd love to know!
Thanks for stopping by!
When I was in elementary school one of the art projects we did was carving linoleum! I know I have it somewhere and I have been wanting to find it! Now I really must! I was always so proud of myself because it wasn’t easy and I thought it turned out pretty good!
Now to find!

Be careful with old linoleum. It was made with asbestos. Only buy new.

Amazing floors. I just love this time period. Lots of great colors. I had a new yellow and white block linoleum block floor installed in my last kitchen, when I lived in the Ranch house. I loved it but it was really hard to keep clean. It had to have a serious coat of wax on it otherwise it seemed porous and I did plenty of scrubbing on my knees. Maybe it was the kind of linoleum; while it bent it a little bit it could be snapped in half. I did Lino carving in middle school art as a kid. That was in the sixties; btw. If I remember correctly that material seemed different than the tiles being used for the mosaic in the second video.

I stumbled across a show with Bill Miller’s work several years ago (in TX). His work is fascinating, especially seeing the vintage linoleum patterns and how he integrates them into his pieces. I had tried linoleum carving a long time ago and realized how difficult it is to cut, couldn’t believe the detail he achieved.
Great post.

Showing my age here, LOL! Back in the late 1950’s and early 60’s, I did linoleum block cutting and printing in art classes in university. The blocks were thick and not the same stuff as was on the floors. You used the same tools that today are used on foam. I think you can get a modern version from Blick. It fives a firmer image than foam, but harder to cut. It was a long time ago…..! The videos were great! Thanks.

Just checked….they are available from Blick and Utrecht . Also, they have sets of tools that are for the purpose and sharper than those for foam. Think Speedball makes them, too.

Ahh, signs of the times! The women in the film are “hobbyists” who can learn lino design and carving “without skill”, but the man in the film is a “craftsman”, and “it takes a skilled craftsman to …”[cut a shape and pot it in place]. LOL! Absolutely wonderful films for the history, color and design! Thank you for finding and sharing these!

That is the coolest thing ever I remember doing that in school or something very much like it I just love the videos what fun. They kind of remind me of my old art teacher. He would say “we all won’t all have artistic talent, but we all can practice at art and have a full life because of art” I definitely fall under practice but man do I love to have fun with it, and this blog is the best place.

My first efforts at carving were linoleum blocks. Yes, it is a lot tougher to cut, but you can’t beat the crispness of edges and lines. It’s too tough for me to cut now, as my arthritis kicks up very soon when I try it, so I stick with the easier stuff like SafeTCut and similar products.

I’m a former interior designer and when I closed by studio/shop, I couldn’t part with many (waaaay too many) of the samples. I always loved lino for use as intended, but I knew there was art to be made with those samples! I’ve made stamps, tried inlay and used pieces as a textural elements in my journal and mixed media pieces. No, it doesn’t carve as easy as the rubber stuff and it doesn’t lend itself to details. The lino samples that I use have a jute backing which I don’t bother removing. When you stamp, it actually produces a mesh type pattern on the image. Also, it’s tough to ink them properly. You think you have a ton of ink on there and yet the images tend to come out faint. Maybe it’s just me. Inlay is really difficult and I don’t have the patience for it! The samples are easy to cut with scissors (not your “good” scissors!) and it’s easy to just cut shapes to assemble on a page or canvas. I’d like to try doing a mosaic with little cut up bits.
The three largest manufacturers are: Forbo (makes Marmolium), Armstrong, and Johnsonite/Tarkett. You might be able to score some free samples by going on their sites. Also, there is Linoleum City and they will send samples. On the Forbo website, you can order up to 15 samples. I put pix of my samples, a stamp, and a journal page on Instagram, (@Valerieteele) if you’re curious. Oh…and PS Julie: Looking forward to your class next month at A Work of Heart!
Second class with you within a year!

Yes, I’m 70 yrs old and caught that reference as well, the “man” was the craftsman…..I am so glad we have come such along way in our thinking. I am glad my grandchildren have much more opportunities in their chosen professions these days..especially the girls!

My mother was a printmaker – I still have some of her old linoleum pieces ( as well as woodblocks and etching plates). I learned to carve linoleum when I was a kid – back in the 50’s LOL

I carved a typical landscape with a cabin when I was in 10th grade art class. Still have it and it’s just fine. The depth is slightly off, but not too bad. I have to agree that carving stamps is easier. The Lino can, sort of, chip and ruin an entire area. You have to be more careful of slipping. But, it’s cool.

Oir local.arg shol still sends lino for printing. In fact it doesn’t sell anything else!! Warming it a bit first near a room heater, or with a hairdryer helps make cutting a bit easier.

I loved the old movies. They were typically played during matinees Saturday in the theater. They were always for me the best part of the show! Thank you so much for posting them.
