About the product

Speedball Speedy-Carve Blocks

This carving block from Speedball is a favorite among novice printers and experts as well. The super soft, eraser-like texture of the block allows for young students to create printing blocks safely.

Carving these blocks is easy and the material will not crack, crumble or break. Usable with water-soluble or oil-based block printing inks. We recommend using a bench hook to hold the block securely in place before carving.

Customers praised these carving blocks as "very easy to use for a beginner" and perfect for intricate designs. Shoppers highlighted the ideal firmness - not too hard like linoleum, not too soft. The blocks hold up well over time, feature two usable sides, and are reasonably priced. Highly recommended for workshops and detailed linocut work.

  • Easier to get fine detail and requires far less effort to create intricate designs.
  • Perfect for simple linocuts and for hosting workshops!
  • Very easy to use for a beginner and a great way to get into linocut.

These are terrific

Call me a permanent newbie but if I can I'll exclusively use the speedy-carve blocks. I find that it's easier to get fine detail and requires far less effort to create intricate designs.

Great carving medium for beginners!

I’m fairly new to Lino cutting and I found the Speedball blocks a great medium to learn on. Not to hard, like linoleum blocks, and not too soft like some cheaper brands.

Just right

Easy to carve, and you have a flipside to carve on if you want, and reasonable price. Speedball is one of those great companies that have been around forever.
