Lino Prints?

Hey all,

I left school just over a year ago and did art for 5 years there, drifted away from it, but am looking to get back into it as a hobby. Can anyone tell me some good arts and crafts shops to get lino and the printing ink? Dublin city, dublin west and/or south or even kildare?

Thanks

I bought a daler rowney lino print kit in the Easons on O'Connell St Dublin - It was a bit of an impulse buy. Was last year and can't remeber how much, but at the time I must've reckoned it was reasonable.

You get rollers - couple of bits of lino - a box of cutting blades, handle. Palette knife. R/Y/B and black oils and block print medium which you mix the paint with to make your "ink".

looking on the web this crowdhave it for 30 POUNDS - which is completly OTT if you ask me.

I've never used these guys before - http://www.specialistcrafts.ie/products.php?page=products&cat1=11 but they seem to have lots of gear.

Yep Evans is pretty good for lino print supplies, not to expensive, you dont need to but lino block ink, acrylic or oil paints work too.
