The perfect starter kit!

This is all you need to get started with linocut without a big investment. Just wanted to see if it was a hobby that I enjoyed and thought it was worth a try for the price. I was able to make 4 linocuts from the one sheet of linoleum that came with it and try different techniques. As they say, this won't be your "eternal set" of tools. This enough to feel safe and think about it, Invest in more durable and practical tools. However, this kit did the job for what I bought it for; to give me a…

Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Not a waste of money but the quality is top notch

I bought this set instead of some 'nameless' ones because I felt the quality would be more, everything gets better, but now that I've used it I'm not sure if it's true. As others have noted, it arrived in an unsealed envelope meaning its contents were completely crushed when it got to my house. Miraculously the ink didn't burst, but I was lucky.

Pros
  • GREAT BEGINNERS KIT - contains everything you need to get started with block printing
Cons
  • Only available in black

Not Without Issues, But Still Good (3.5 Stars)

All in all, this is a pretty good "starter kit" but I'd like to warn you about a couple of issues (or problems) I've encountered: * The linoleum block is HARD. Too difficult, especially for those just starting out in linocut. (I always found it sad because it might put people off the linocut, perhaps thinking it's not worth the physical effort to cut that hard linoleum. With each cut, my cutter bounced, hooked, and bounced off the block .I grunted like crazy lol) I'm not saying that it is…

Pros
  • CREATE FUN STAMPS - Use the Block Printing Starter Kit to create your own prints, greeting cards, and many other paper crafts.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
