Signblast tape is a stencil material normally used for printing signs or sandblasting letters into stone. It can adhere to plexiglass and be carved with linocut tools. It is somewhat inexpensive, cuts with scissors, and you can peel off negative space. It is most often used for the second and third relief plates. The great thing about this is you can see through each plate. Negative space becomes transparent as the tape is carved away from the clear plexiglass. Each block produced can transfer a different color to the surface, often including a base of a traditional woodblock. The workshop will focus on techniques of handling and cutting sign blast tape to produce a 3 color relief image of any size and shape.
