Block Print Magic is an essential guide to the techniques of linoleum block printing, including 17 captivating step-by-step projects and the works and insights of talented printmakers for inspiration and visual demonstration.

Block Print Magic is the perfect reference for a wide range of printmaking enthusiasts. The easy-to-follow illustrated instruction takes you through every step of the process, beginning with choosing and caring for tools and setting up a studio, through design essentials, carving techniques, and printing techniques. Those techniques include multi-block printing, reduction cuts, puzzle blocks, and rainbow-roll printing. Advanced carving techniques for creating textures, crosshatching, and three-dimensional shading will give you the opportunity to expand and strengthen your expertise.

Among the visually stunning projects you'll learn to create:

Colorful, multi-block hex sign
Reduction cut sunflowers print
One-page pocket zine from a single block
Fabric wall hanging embellished with embroidery

Along with author Emily Howard's own work, artist spotlights feature interviews with and examples of work by five other contemporary artists—Lili Arnold, Jen Hewett, Kelli MacConnell, Derrick Riley, and Aftyn Shah—as a means of clarifying how each technique can be used in different ways.

Block Print Magic is a must-have addition to any printmaker's bookshelf.

Super book!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 February 2019

I'm reasonably experienced, and while there is some instruction, for me, it wasn't spaced wasted. The artist's work is my taste - cover images representative. It has to be said some of the text could be clearer.. In places there too many alternative methods are described when a couple would suffice, eg Registration or transferring a design to the block. For which I award 4 stars. No shiny pages but really interesting articles with artists answering the same set of questions, original designs and ideas to adapt (and not seen in other books) and generally encouragement to move on - there is a little section on substrates and incorporating this into the overall work. Not all work has to be printed on white paper and in a print run including unusual papers (or materials) can produce interesting results conveying more than the original print. Not all examples are aspiring to be traditional mounted pieces, but one could be be developed into a 3D piece, with could be displayed as a piece of art, or would be a really gift to receive, and another, what sounds like sacrilege ,but the print is cut into strips and woven together again. The illustration is most effective, so well worth trying as one can have prints you don't know what do with. For me the book was stimulating andWell worth buying as it is good value at the price. given the provisos I have indicated.
