Printmaking

Before our age of digital printing and automation, printing was done by hand. This book shares those time-honored techniques, using easily obtained supplies and items that can already be found right in the home, including cardboard tubes, cork, and rubber erasers. It shares an very easy and accessible process of relief printing, which basically means creating a stencil, inking it up, and applying the stencil to the item, then repeating. These 12 easy-to-follow projects range from decorating a gift bag and making a set of coasters to transferring an image on to a mug, printing on a T-shirt, and more. The book starts with an introduction to the tools and equipment needed, then jumps right into the projects, illustrated copiously with photos throughout--
