Printmaking

Twelve easy-to-follow projects demonstrate time-honored printing techniques for decorating gift bags and coasters, transferring images to mugs and t-shirts, and embellishing other items. An introduction to materials and equipment is followed by chapters on making your own tools, creating with found objects and stamps, designing your own custom plates for relief printmaking, painting stencils, and more. Most projects employ common household items. AUTHOR: Christine Medley is a Professor of Graphic Design at Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
