Stop letting pesky obstacles keep you from printing it your way: after all it's your wedding invitations, your band t-shirts, and even your deck of cards, isnt it? Print Workshop grabs your hand and leads you through a crash-course on printing with techniques, materials and surfaces you never dreamed you could take on at home. It can be as simple as carving a potato or as complex as a chemical bath, but no matter the skill level, these printing techniques never require expensive equipment or lots of space. Everything in this book is easily do-able at home; and every project features Yellow Owl Workshop's sought-after motifs and Christine's art-school style illustrations. Unlike the vanilla-flavoured competition, this book is full of original ideas for things to make and use. There's jar labels for your canning and pickling needs. There's pillows inspired by YOW's famous city and bicycle stamps. There's everything from a stationary set (complete with wax seal) to a dartboard, from a deck of cards to a fine art print.

"Print Workshop radically transcends conventional printmaking guides. Schmidt's witty, conversational approach illuminates one graphic project after the next, from pinprick stationery to royal wax seals and jar decals." -"Chantal Lamers, San Francisco Chronicle
"
"[Print Workshop] celebrates the imperfect, the humanness of printing and the beauty in that. Geared for the home printer, the materials and tools are simple and easy to find at a local craft store. The book is a great way to dive into hand printing, an amazing starting point for customizing household items and a really nice guide for bringing more life into your every day. The aesthetic of the projects is incredibly current and inspiring and still approachable enough to feel comfortable attacking them on your own." -"Laure Joliet, Apartment Therapy"
"I've always loved the voice and style that Christine [Schmidt] has brought to the printing community. Her style is unique and fresh and I'm so excited to see that celebrated and translated into book form. Her book will teach you how to roll up your sleeves and create fantastic home, fashion and accessory-based projects. I love that the book keeps budget in mind and will give you a wide range of ideas that won't drain your wallet. Whether you're looking to create a custom t-shirt, deck of cards (my favorite) or dartboard, Christine has you covered (including all the basics tools and terminology you'll need for printing)." " -Grace Bonney, Design Sponge
"
"A thoroughly engaging entry into the world of personalization through print." -"Dwell Magazine
""Artists who love what they do are infectious: They motivate the rest of us to give creativity a shot. Just talk with Christine Schmidt, who fairly gushes about her printmaking efforts, both in a phone interview and in the pages of "Print Workshop: Hand-printing Techniques & Truly Original Projects." -"Associated Press

I've really wanted to start doing some printing, but been put off by thinking that I couldn't do it. This book has been perfect for me. The techniques start simply, the instructions are clear and the ideas are really inspiring. As it's an American book, the exact products aren't always easy to find, but there are some great web suppliers for all that you need. I'd thoroughly recommend it.
