Printmaking on a Budget

Description

This book focuses on making prints from found or cheap objects - as opposed to highly expensive printing machines and computers. Mandy Bonnell and Steve Mumberson show the reader how to make highly sophisticated prints while using comparatively cheap materials. In many parts of the world, this is the standard way of printing but there is certainly a place for it in Western countries and students particularly will be very interested in the methods shown.

Mandy Bonnell and Stephen Mumberson both have extensive teaching experience in the printmaking field. Mandy is Senior Lecturer in Printmaking at The Bath School of Art and Design, Bath Spa University, and has organised and run International Outreach Workshops in Kenya since 1990. Stephen is Head of Printmaking as well as Reader in Fine Art at Middlesex University. Both are practising artist printmakers ho exhibit widely and internationally, and their work appears in exhibitions and collections worldwide.

'This is not a populist weekend project book, but a serious look at another side of printmaking from a professional point of view.' * Artbookreview.net (18/07/08) *
