Book Description
Learn simple printmaking techniques and how to incorporate printed images into mixed-media artwork on paper and fabric. This creative approach to traditional printmaking methods doesn’t require printing presses or special papers.
- From screen printing, collagraph, monoprinting, and sun printing, these techniques are especially affordable and accessible to any artist, from beginner to experienced.
- Each technique is shown in step-by-step photography on both paper and fabric, plus the author shows how to combine different printmaking and mixed-media techniques to create a variety of projects, including a fabric artist book, a handprinted calendar, wall art collage, an apron, a holiday book, greeting cards, and more.
- Â Stitch, cut, glue, layer, paint, and embellish printed layers to use in fine art or collage, book arts, fabric arts, fiber arts, and assemblage.
A gallery of mixed-media samples from the author and various artists shows even more ways to include printmaking in mixed-media artwork. Printmaking + Mixed Media is a great resource for mixed-media artists looking to expand their skills and printmakers interested in reinterpreting traditional methods.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Issue 61 There’s a wealth of information in this book about mixed media techniques which you could incorporate into textile items, although they are illustrated mostly on paper. There’s an excellent section on many different types of printing with striking designs. They include screen, monotype, collograph, relief and sun printing. Every chapter has interesting examples using the different processes. Included are some projects making small books and collages, greeting cards and a calendar. This book would be an excellent resource for City & Guilds students. Fabrications
