What is linocut?
Linocut is a printmaking technique, similar to a woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes mounted on a wooden block) is used for the relief surface. A design i s cut into the linoleum surface with a sharp knife, V-shaped chisel or gouge, with the raised (uncarved) areas representing a reversal (mirror image) of the parts to show printed. The linoleum sheet is inked with a roller (called a brayer), and then impressed onto paper or fabric.

Station Gallery began a major transformation in 2005. The original Grand Trunk Railway Station was moved across the street to our current location at 1450 Henry St.
The building expansion saw Station Gallery’s space increase to close to 10,000 sq. feet. Designed by Phil Goldsmith of the nationally acclaimed Goldsmith, Borgal and Company, the new addition significantly enhanced gallery capacity with increased exhibition, studio, collection storage and administrative space.
The newly renovated Station Gallery re-opened on January 3, 2006, with an exhibition comprised of a selection of works from the Canada Council Art Bank entitled Cross-Over.
