How To: Block Printing Basics featuring Julia Dilworth & Sharilyn Kuehnel

We invited 24hrs Vancouver DIY columnist Julia Dilworth and printmaker Sharilyn Kuehnel to Opus Downtown Vancouver to demonstrate the basics of block printing. Explore these steps as Sharilyn teaches Julia how to transfer an image onto Safety-Kut Block, carve an image using Speedball Lino Cutter and Bench Hook, and print on both Strathmore Creative Cards and t-shirts with Gamblin Relief Inks.

The versatility of printmaking makes this DIY project perfect for home and for creating multiple prints. The blocks can also be used on fine art paper to create a print ready to be framed and enjoyed on the walls of your own home or to give as a gift!

Guys, quadruple check your print is from a toner printer and not an inkjet. Did it four times unsuccessfully until I realized I was not using a toner print. Derp.

[@kohinoorchowdhury7440]

where to buy the block for the printing

[@opusartsupplies]

Hello Kohinoor,
If you are in British Columbia and near one of our 6 retail locations, you can purchase Safety-Kut Blocks from us. Just ask one of our staff members and they will be able to help you with your needs. We also have an online store that offers mail order throughout Canada.
If you are not in Canada, the best bet would be to go to your local fine art retailer and inquire about the project. They may also have similiar items that can help do the trick. I'd also suggest visiting the product page on our website in the link provided below. It will have information on the block and may just aid you on your quest.

That’s not block printing. It’s just rubber stamps

[@zaibsoomro]

True

Xylene is extremely toxic. Take care.
