"Block Print: Everything you need to know for printing with lino blocks, rubber blocks, foam sheets, and stamp sets" is a book that introduces a few of the many individual methods of producing block prints, possibly at home using the kitchen table or counter-top. It is a good starting point for any age. Some of its methods employ sharp cutting tools and are inherently less safe for young and inexperienced users unless properly instructed and supervised. Foam is perfectly safe for the very youngest as it needs use nothing sharper than a old knitting needle as the 'engraving' tool but it may have a limited scope. The author offers a variety of advice and suggestions, all of which are reasoned and explained.It isn't a complete guide as a number of alternative methods are omitted but is is an excellent and thorough introduction to a limited range (the more popular) with sufficient detail within its 144 pages to get anyone started in one or more of its processes. Unfortunately, it is of American origin and the sources quoted are US-based but there are several good UK alternatives of which many are on-line. Although it is possible to buy appropriate 'starter kits' which each include some basic equipment and sometimes media, a wider range of tools possibly of better quality can be later purchased as and when experience builds. Media is available in various sizes, some in bulk rolls which can be more economical for the frequent print-maker.A valuable resource whether starting out or re-learning half-forgotten skills and there may be some recent innovations in ideas and materials to explore. Other than lino-cutting which was learned long ago at school, the remaining processes are relatively recent and previously not used.
