Speedy Carve Kit
SKU #17088923

A petite kit for a time-tested, stamp-making practice. Take the tracing paper and draw the design you'd like to transfer to your rubbery carve block.

Use your stamp over and over to create your image on all sorts of surfaces with different types and colors of paint. Instructions included. Made in the USA. Hand wash. * Includes: carve block (6"l, 4"w), wooden handle with v-shape line cutter and u-shape gouge attachments, tracing paper, instructions

or just use a fucking printer

[CarolsVideos]

Personally I think that's such a waste of money.

All that money to transfer paint/ink onto another paper?

I can draw arrows and just paint them in myself, saving me about 200 bucks in the process.

Great intro to linoleum printing. Easy and fun to make a hand made object. What's the name or brand of the rolling press used in the video?

[hislaughingheart]

Printers use alot of ink, cost a tonne of money, and are basically made out of cheap plastic unless your doing it professionally.

Printmaking is a process with a different kind of engagement, if your working with wood, its smell, its feel, its aesthetic that all works together. Great video, and handsome to boot!

In the past, this was one of the only ways of printing multiple copies of the same image. Now there are faster/cheaper ways of printing, but this is still used by artists who are looking for an older, less precise ascetic. If you want to use an ink jet printer, chances are you have a completely different goal set. EOD.

block printing is badass "just use a printer" just go watch some tv kiddo.

[steveoco1]

Good work mate, it is about having fun making prints and being creative, not grubbing cash or saying who/what is better etc.

[TheNylonJacket]

It's about using your hands to produce something unique, you should know more then just how to use a computer. Any fool can press print for image somebody else made made, it takes skill to make it yourself and be an artist.
