Supply List:
· Black Speedball block print ink – available at any art store
o make sure it is the nontoxic water-based kind!
· Brayer -The speedball ones work great, and are on the cheaper end
· A small sheet of plexiglass to roll out your ink and to paint directly on
o This can also be done on a sheet of wood, cardboard, glass, or something with a little weight that is totally flat, glossy and smooth
· Cardboard, styrofoam, or foam board – nothing bigger than 8.5x11” is necessary
o We will be making prints/stamps out of these, so it is best if they are flat, and you have a good amount on hand
o Regular packaging cardboards works great
· Paper – lots of it! We are printmaking, which means we will be making many copies/variations of your art. Smooth, wet media paper is best
o Cardstock or any other thicker paper that can absorb wet media should work just fine
o Plan enough for at least 3 days of printmaking. Expect to make anywhere from 5-10 prints a day
o If good printing paper is wanted: Subi block printing paper or black ink mulberry are best – packs can be found at most art stores
· Liquid tempera paints – whatever colors you want
· Paint brushes – a variety of sizes is best, but use whatever you have
· Scissors
· Drawing Materials
o Graphite Pencil (not mechanical)
o Colored pencils, crayons, oil pastels, markers, etc – any coloring material will work
· Cup of water for brushes
· Newspaper or something to cover your workspace with
· Glue - normal school glue
· Wooden spoon to press our prints
o If you don’t have this, you can just use your hands, it will just be a little trickier
· Watercolor paints – any kind will work just fine.
