Description
This book presents the media and techniques, both ancient and modern, needed to create all kinds of prints including block, stencil, sun and image transfer prints without the use of a specialized machine. All projects in the book have been adapted for use with a home printer. Each project includes the author's creative process as a guide to inspire other works. The book also contains templates from Yellow Owl Workshop.
This is a book for low budgets and high ambition. Read it and you will learn how to put images of things onto other things. You will start by rolling up your sleeves. Your shirt will be stained anyways. At some point, you will harness the power of the sun.
There is no specialized machine required to print anything you want in any room you want. A mural, a dartboard, a deck of cards, these are all possible.
In a week or a month, you will wake up to find you know words like acetate and substrate. You will be comfortable talking about ink and shopping at military supply stores. Perhaps most important of all, you will be printing images of things onto other things.
