Learn about the supplies, tools, and block printing process as you go through the steps to design, carve, and print your own original block printed patterns. Be forewarned that block printing is super fun and addicting! Open to all levels.Required Supplies:<ul><li>Linoleum Cutter: Speedball’s Linoleum Cutter Assortment Set #1 comes with 5 cutters/tips and is a great option for getting started with carving your own block prints. You can purchase additional handles to minimize changing tips. Mel’s go-to carving gouges are made by Pfeil with the L 12/1 and L 9/2 gouges used the most often.</li><li>2 or more Speedball Speedy Stamp Carve Blocks measuring 4”x6” or bigger</li><li>X-acto knife and a small cutting mat (6” or bigger)</li><li>1 or more ink pads. Recommended brands: Tsukineko VersaFine Claire, Tsukineko Kaleidacolor-beautiful ombre ink pads, Memento Lux, and Ranger Archival Inkpads.</li><li>Pencil with soft lead.
