Printmaking Second Edition: A Complete Guide to Materials & Processes
£23.80
This fully updated edition includes expanded chapters on digital and mixed media processes, and a brand new ‘Print & Make’ chapter, which explores the opportunities for creative expression within the many processes available to print makers. The more traditional techniques of relief, intaglio, collograph, lithography, screen printing and monoprint have also been refreshed with the addition of new images showing a broader range of subject matter, including more contemporary prints and international artists.
Each technique is explored from the development of the printing or digital matrix, through the different stages of creation to image output. Guidance on how to set up a print studio, sections on troubleshooting techniques and the inclusion of up-to-date lists of suppliers, workshops and galleries make this an essential volume for beginner and experienced printmakers alike.

Great item and service
by TangoDiver
As someone not new to artmaking, but new to printmaking, I thought this book was very comprehensive regarding the many different types of printmaking. I am particularly drawn to collagraphy and although this isn’t necessarily a how-to book, it is more of a guide to get you started, what you should know, and how things work. With printmaking, there are processes and steps and this book goes through the basics in a matter of fact way. I did learn things about printing a plate and setting up the press that I didn’t know before I read the book and was surprised that I didn’t learn that in a class I took recently.

Excellent guide to a range of printmaking approaches that I have found helpful in reviewing ones I know and in learning new ones. One of the best books out there.

Very thorough book. Explained all my questions about printing. Will be using it as a ‘bible’ guy for anything printing in future. Really good reference work.
