Product Description
Product Description
Screenprinting has never been so popular--and the water-based process is the best way to do it. This practical and inspirational resource book explains and describes methods and materials that replace traditional toxic screenprinting systems. It is the modern option: safer, healthier, and more environmentally friendly, as well as quick to learn and accessible to all. Whether you wish to print using photo stencils, paper stencils, or screen filler stencils, with opaque, translucent, metallic, pearlescent, or iridescent paints, on delicate Japanese paper, handmade bark paper, fabric, metal, or PVC, renowned practitioners and art educators Robert Adam and Carol Robertson show you how to do it. The book covers every stage of the printing process and opens up new areas of creative possibilities, whether printing small editions or works for large-scale installations. From choosing which materials to use and how to use them, through selling up and equipping your own water-based screenprinting studio, to collating and presenting your finished prints, this comprehensive reference book--complete with glossary and list of international suppliers--is the only resource you'll ever need.

Format:Hardcover
As a student I have found this a fantastic book and really full of good ideas. It is really practical and the bullet point information and recipes are easy to follow. The illustrations show a broad range of work including installations as well as prints and also good examples of stages in screenprinting and making the different types of positives. I find this book invaluable.

This is a beautifully produced book with lots of information,but I think it is very much geared for the serious practioner/student and not so helpful for the kitchen table artist.
Read in conjunction with some other simpler books I have found it to be quite helpful. It is inspirational to see the Barbara Rae, Wilhemina Burns-Graham and Mary Newcomb prints and how they are built up.
Lascaux products are the printing colours etc., used in the book and mentioned incessantly and this means that the terms used are more difficult to understand if you are using different manufacturers products. It also seems very Americanised in the terms used, so I was surprised to see that the authors practised in Scotland.

A really thorough review of the best practices behind water-based screenprinting, including detailed breakdowns of complex multi-layer registrations.
The book leans a little heavily on the promotion of Lascaux products for my liking, but is a really inspiring read nonetheless - recommended!

Great book
Too much information for one human to take in, but take it in small chunks and you won't go wrong. It's all good. Read more
