* two or three colours of block printing ink (relief printing ink is the same thing) - I have some I'd normally be happy to bring in, but it's got a long drying time and we'll need to be able to give them something they can safely take home with them. | |||
* some brayers/rubber rollers | |||
* a cheap set of carving chisels, given that Joy said the older children had had some experience. I noticed last time I was in Cass Art in Islington (which is within walking distance of the hackspace) that they had a decent-looking set for £5.50 | |||
* a couple of large sheets of paper we can cut down to make suitable sized pieces | |||
* lots of newspaper | |||
