Product Description
Review
"This useful handbook gives an interesting, informative account of Hartill's approach to materials and processes in an attractive, precise manner." Printmaking Today (Autumn 2005)
Product Description
Collagraphs are prints made from collages, relief sculpture, carved, stripped or layered plates, or mixed media. Material can be added to prints at any stage, which means that this method of working allows for a much more fluid artistic approach than other types of printmaking. In this book, the authors describe a wide range of collagraph techniques, providing the user with practical help on the choice of materials and printing methods to achieve the best results. It is illustrated with images of the work of British and international collagraph artists, making it a practical and inspirational guide for both students and experienced printmakers. A large portion of the book is dedicated to information about a wide range of collagraph artists and their work.

A throrough exploration of the varied possibilities of collagraph, this book would be suitable for any artist wishing to extend their range. Not just a pretty book, but informative and detailed with a range of contemporary print examples. Highly recommended read.

Having never done printmaking before, I was insired by this book to make Collagraphs my Specialist Project during the 1st year of my A level Graphics and Illustration. I'm an adult and the research for this was entirely self directed. This book was brilliant - techniques explained and wonderful examples for inspiration. I got 100%.

Collagraphs and Mixed Media Printmaking (Printmaking Handbook) by Brenda Harthill and Richard Clarke.
This is another welcome product from A & C Black's current printmaking series.
As a practicing printmaker who works in two Oxfordshire print studios, I find this book very accessible on all levels (I work with both students and professional printmakers). The content is practical, easy to grasp, is packed full of useful and interesting information and is beautifully illustrated.
I like the fact that there are essays about known working artists and their individual approaches to their work. To my mind it gets one thinking about many levels of enquiry, which is very necessary for students, as well as more experienced artists.

dull
This book was a big disappointment, both textual content and illustrations were banal. If you are a professional artist or printmaker this book won't inspire.
