• The Best Tabletop Printing Presses for Multifarious Techniques

  12-12-2020 05:42 via artnews.com
  
  The timeless process of printing can be intimidating, as it requires a lot of specialized equipment and tools as well as a designated space in which to work and properly transfer your designs. A handy way to print that is both economical and space-saving: Use a tabletop printing press, which sits neatly on a flat surface and can be stored away in a small space when necessary. Because these tools are a lot smaller than traditional printing presses, they are limited in their output size, but they

• The Best STEM Kits for Kids Engage the Intersections of Art and Technology

  12-12-2020 05:21 via artnews.com
  
  Although the word art doesn’t appear in the acronym STEM (that’s science, technology, engineering, and math, for the uninitiated), that doesn’t mean there’s no creativity under that umbrella of skills. In fact, many STEM-focused kits intended to teach kids about those fields not only rely on innovation but even encourage artistry. Depending on the project, a STEM kit can develop a youngster’s love of both science and art and show how they complement each other. Brow

  Art kits that are sensory in nature—going beyond the visual with elements of touch or smell—can provide a fun and stimulating experience for children. Whether used for solitary explorations or group activities, they help to inspire, stoke curiosity, and build motor skills. And in addition to having a new artistic experience, young children will end up with their own creations to display and show off.

• Use the Best Kite-Making Kits for Artful Outdoor Activities

  12-12-2020 04:54 via artnews.com
  
  A favorite pastime among children is kite flying. So simple and joyful, it’s a great windy-day activity that can make them feel almost as though they’re flying themselves. What’s better than that, though? Making their own kites and sending them soaring into the clouds. It’s more complicated than it looks, however, to fashion a kite that’s both good looking and able to fly. That’s where kits come in. With templates, precut rods, and detailed instructions, it&rs

• The Best Casting Wax for Models and Molds

  12-12-2020 04:44 via artnews.com
  
  The art of lost-wax casting has been industrialized and updated with digital technologies since it first originated thousands of years ago. But the process still begins with the same step: the creation of a wax model. This can be used to make a mold or used directly for casting, which results in the loss of the model. There’s a lot to consider when browsing for waxes, including stiffness, melting point, and quantity. We found five great options for all kinds of projects below.

• The Best C Clamps for Securing Artworks and Carpentry Projects

  12-12-2020 04:32 via artnews.com
  
  When you’re trying to secure something to a tabletop or easel, C clamps are among the most efficient ways to get the job done. This tool is often used in carpentry, but artists have commandeered it as well to suit their purposes. Named for its shape, the clamp has an open end that is crossed by a screw; by twisting a small perpendicular bar, this screw can be extended or retracted to increase or reduce the opening’s size. Ahead, find the five C clamps that we think will perform best

• The Best Photography Chemicals for Seamlessly Developing Film

  12-12-2020 04:27 via artnews.com
  
  Many people are intimidated by the idea of developing their own photo negatives. In many ways, that apprehension is understandable. To develop film, you have to operate in complete darkness some of the time, without even a safelight. It is usually a slow process that requires active agitation at carefully timed intervals. (What’s more, once your negatives are developed, you are only halfway to having printed photos; you’ll have to go through a whole different sequence to print your i

• The Best Brush-Cleaning Solutions for Painters of All Skill Levels

  12-12-2020 04:14 via artnews.com
  
  Professional and amateur painters alike know the power of a good brush-cleaning solution. Especially if you have spent a fair amount of money on your brushes, the last thing you want is to ruin them with caked-on, drying paint that renders them ready for the trash. A good cleaning solution should be both thorough and gentle, properly removing all pigment from your brush’s bristles and leaving them soft and restored, ready to be used again. To help you choose the one that’s right for

  The natural wax derived from honeybees, also called cera alba, is a versatile substance that can be used for a variety of creative projects. Rich in vitamin A, it’s a favored ingredient for homemade skin-healing and protective balms, lotions, and sunscreens. You can also melt it for candle making, use it as a medium in encaustic painting, or create lost-wax castings. Depending on your project, one form of raw wax might be better to use than another, and our picks below will help you whittl

  If you love making your own books, a bookbinding machine is a smart investment. Engineered to punch evenly distanced holes in papers and then help you guide them into a binding spine, these devices will save both time and money. You can use them to bind journals, scrapbooks, and even your own custom-made sketchbooks. It’s important to know what kind of finished product you want, as each machine punches a certain type of hole and accommodates not only specific kinds of binding but also diff

  Light up your life with a homemade candle. A practice that’s been around since before the Common Era, some of the first candles were dipping candles made from tallow by ancient Romans, in 500 BCE. There’s evidence of whale-fat candles dating back to the Qin dynasty in China, and in ancient India, temple candles were made from boiled cinnamon wax. With the growth of the whaling industry in 18th-century Europe and Northern America, commercialized candles began to be made out of oil fro
