Students to Provide
•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.
•2 or more Speedball Speedy Stamp Carve Blocks measuring 4”x6” or bigger
•X-acto knife and a small cutting mat (6” or bigger)
•1 or more ink pads. Recommended brands: Tsukineko VersaFine Claire—available in 36 colors with option for refill ink--best used with paper, Ranger Archival, and/or Memento Lux (which both work on paper and fabric).
•Pencil with soft lead. Mechanical pencils work great especially if they have a metal cylinder tip which can be used to punch tiny dots!! Pentel makes several.
•10-15 sheets of printer paper for drafting and/or test printing
•1 sheet of tracing paper
OPTIONAL:
•Acrylic Stamp Blocks (they are available in assorted sizes and shapes. I suggest starting with a 2-3” square), 1-2 packages of Tsukineko’s Tack ‘N Peel Reusable Cling Sheets, and a pair of scissors (for cutting the Tack ‘N Peel).
•Fabric (light colored solid/solid-like)—can be 5” or 10” charm squares or bigger.
