Product Description
Review
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 This book is all about fresh ideas using printmaking and mixed media on fabric and paper. All the usual printing techniques are explored and there are lots of fun projects to try your hand at them. I like the monotype placemats and the ideas for sun printing. This is a book that will open the door for you to explore many interesting ideas.-KarenPlatt.co.uk
Product Description
Learn simple printmaking techniques and how to incorporate printed images into mixed-media artwork on paper and fabric with "Printmaking + Mixed Media", a twist on traditional methods. No printing presses or special papers are required with this creative approach. 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. 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.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Good layout, conscise explanations and simple instructions. Would recommend to both beginners and more experienced art workers/printmakers/mixed media artists. If I have one criticism it is that some of the printed words - pages 12-22- were quite feint and not that easy to read. Nonetheless for that, a book to refer to time and again.
