Review on 🎨 Starter Printmaking: Cutting Ink and Speedy Carve for Enhanced Printing by Linda Diaz

This is what a beginner needs. The blades are a bit dull, but not bad for a beginner. Another downside to this setup is that only one person can cut at a time - if you're like me and have a bunch of kids wanting to learn, they'll have to take turns. This is not our first enrollment as I have many children who want to study. We have 2 other kits to compare but we are definitely pros - just beginners learning as we go. One thing we learned along the way is that two-tone rubber blocks are by far the best. for beginners. And they are ALL two-toned! The colors let you know when you've cut deep enough to have different levels, to make your carving look better. It has some templates for applying to rubber but no instructions on how to do it (Youtube will teach you, just search for graphite transfer or toner transfer. This kit has everything you need for graphite transfer). I find patterns. It's too small and detailed for a true beginner. They are all about the size of a quarter or dollar coin. So we put them aside and let the kids draw something bigger themselves or print out sketches from the internet. Even 7 year olds can do it. Be warned, this is addictive. Rubber carving is soothing and enjoyable! The included ink is suitable for children. It's inconsistent, but the role in the kit is heavy and good. As you get better at cutting stamps, you should buy ink for printing. Ink pads entertain children. Just search for graphite transfer or toner transfer.
