Although it’s excellent for younger children, students of all ages can achieve fantastic results!

How to use Printing Foam:
- Produce the ‘block’ by simply pressing lines and shapes into the special soft foam surface. Use a 4B pencil or a ballpoint pen. For larger areas, press into the foam with a popstick, spoon or similar blunt object.
- Ink the Printing Foam surface with any type of water-based printing ink or paint, using a foam roller.
- Carefully lay a sheet of paper over the inked surface and rub all over with a clean hard roller, or with the back of a spoon, palm of the hand or with a baren.
- Peel off the print, slowly. Repeat the inking and rubbing for as many prints as desired. Experiment with different coloured inks and different coloured papers.
- To wash the block, simply hold under the tap or soak in a dish of water. The surface and lines may be carefully cleaned with a soft brush. The block will store easily for future use, when completely dry.
Extension ideas:
- Single & multiple colour printing: Follow the “How to” steps above to achieve your design. Experiment with different papers and printing inks. This example is a design drawn directly onto the foam and printed on black paper using white paint. You may also wish to hand colour the finished print.
- Print with multiple colours: Multi-coloured prints may be achieved by the reduction method. Draw lines on the printing foam where you want white lines and print with a light colour. Allow to dry. Add more lines on the foam where you want the first colour and print with a darker colour. Put in registration marks to correctly line up the prints with each colour.
-
Chine-collé Printing onto pre-printed paper: Create interesting effects and depths to your design by printing on a variety of paper surfaces. Experiment with these backgrounds: Create a collage of torn tissue paper, use sheets of metallic papers, pre-printed papers or painted backgrounds to vary the results.
This is great for all ages depending on the skill base the broader are the opportunities. - Hand colour prints with coloured pencils, markers, Gouache, Food Dye or Oil Pastel
- Cut shapes out of the Printing Foam to create a collage of printed areas.
