Speedball Linocut starter kit

Speedball Linocut starter kit

Speedball Water-Soluble Block Printing Starter Kit: ideal for beginners who want to start with linocut! Speedball is an American brand that, for 75 years now, offers everything related to printing techniques (linocut and screen printing): from loose printing ink to complete sets with materials to get started yourself. Where printing techniques used to be inaccessible due to the large amounts of special materials needed, Speedball has changed the whole market by offering these materials in an accessible way. Suitable for both hobbyists and professionals, everyone can now get started with these techniques themselves! Do you want to start with linocut but don't have any materials at home yet? This kit from Speedball is a good start and contains the following materials:

• Tube (37ml) water soluble block printing ink, in the color black
• Soft lino roller with good grip
• Holder for gouges
• Gouges in three sizes
• Speedy-Carve Block (soft, synthetic material instead of linoleum)
• Linocut instruction booklet

With these materials you can get started right away with your first linocut. All basic materials are included in this kit, and you can expand later with more colors of ink or gouges in even more sizes. The Speedy-Carve Block is made of extra soft, synthetic material, which makes gouging even easier than in linoleum. Linoleum can still be quite tough, and if you haven't quite mastered the technique of gouging yet, it's a bit more accessible (and safer!) to use this material in the beginning. Properties
