Print Block:
PRINT BLOCK is a synthetic rubber carving plate whose composition, smoothness & softness means that a raised carved finish can be easily produced. Even the tip of a paint brush handle can be used to carve out a design! Make your own prints & stamps with PRINT BLOCK in a quick & safe way! Can be used with water-soluble inks, textile & serigraphic paint as well as with ink pads. The designs are obtained by applying pressure with the hands or by using a roller on the block over the area to be printed.
Linoleum Sheet:
Linocut is a printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum is used for the relief surface. A design is 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 Rubber brayer), and then impressed onto paper or fabric. The actual printing can be done by hand or with a press.
