Printmaking is a comprehensive and up to date introduction to
fundamental printmaking techniques including relief, intaglio,
collagraph, lithography, screen print and monoprint.
It shows how some
of the latest and most experimental prints have been made using these
techniques. It also shows how to use the computer as an image-making
tool and how to translate digital images into tangible works of art.
Each chapter has clear, step-by-step illustrations with extensive case
studies, which help the student understand the technical aspects of
each printmaking technique.
Each chapter profiles a leading
contemporary printmaker, with an interview and examples of their work.
The appendices include many useful troubleshooting charts, indicating
the problems that are likely to arise with different techniques, and
what can be done to solve them. There is also a useful glossary of
technical terms.
