Printmaking for Beginners

Description

This book is a basic guide to a wide range of printmaking techniques. It covers the processes of monotype, relief, intaglio, collagraph, screenprinting and lithography, explaining basic methods and recommending tools, types of paper, equipment and materials necessary for each, as well as highlighting safe and sensible working practices. In this new, expanded edition, recent techniques such as printing with carborundum are also included. This is a practical book, but it is also an inspirational one which should encourage a whole new group of budding printmakers.
