Print Play: Screen Printing Inspiration for Your Life and Home

Description

In Print Play, screen printing designers and teachers Jess Wright and Lara Davies welcome you into their colourful, pattern-filled world with a series of how-to screen printing projects. The book covers all the basics of screen printing at home before delving into projects ranging from homewares to accessories and clothing. The 24 projects are accessible to novice screen printers, as well as keeping more experienced screen printers challenged, and include printed wallpaper, art prints, beach towels, napery, tote bags and planter boxes. There are also chapters that focus on creating colour palettes, finding inspiration and designing your own unique patterns. Written with a sense of fun, and easy-to-follow instructions, Jess and Lara invite you to create some screen printing magic of your own.
