Synopsis:

Featuring a variety of unique projects to inspire printmakers of all levels, this is a comprehensive introduction to printmaking.

This practical guide offers a wide range of skills including monoprinting, block-printing, linoprinting, collagraph, drypoint etching and eco printing. Each printmaking method is explained with clear step-by-step instructions and illustrations and is accompanied by simple projects that are a natural progression from the print techniques learned.
