Description
The Essdee Lino Cutting & Printing Kit is a comprehensive, all-in-one printmaking kit designed for both beginners and experienced artists. Manufactured in the UK by Essdee—renowned for its printmaking tools since 1942—this kit makes traditional lino printing safe, accessible, and enjoyable for a wide range of users.

The kit allows you to explore and compare traditional linoleum and Softcut materials, opening up creative possibilities with different carving textures and printing results. It includes six different lino cutters for varied carving styles, along with essential safety tools such as a safety cutter and hand guard, making it suitable for learners aged 12+ (with adult supervision).

A standout feature is the 3-in-1 Baren, which functions as:

• A printing tool to transfer ink from block to paper

• A desk tidy for storing cutters

• A stamping tool when used with Softcut discs

The included water-based block printing ink ensures easy cleanup and a mess-free workspace, while the ink tray and brayer help achieve smooth, even prints. This kit is ideal for creating greeting cards, posters, gifts, educational projects, and original artworks. Full step-by-step instructions are included.
