Printing by Hand: A Modern Guide to Printing with Handmade Stamps, Stencils, and Silk Screens

Simple, inspiring projects with modern designs. To me it seemed not too consistent, but it is good enough for the basics of printing. The photos and clean design (of the book and the projects) are the best points of it.

It was a pleasure to receive this book in the mail. Right from the first page it was easy to follow, interesting, and the pictures are beautiful and motivating. I am looking forward to teaching my little girls from this book.

I bought this book because it's full of information about printing on fabric.Can't wait to start.I have found everything in one place.

This book turned out to be even more helpful and inspiring than I had hoped for. It answered many questions relating to different varieties of simple hand printing techniques such as: which inks, papers, and fabrics are best suited for each project; how to create stencils; how to transfer designs, how to repeat a pattern, how to work with screens, and on and on. There are many color photos showing step-by-step procedures. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. A lot of the printing projects are done on simple, natural fabrics like linen and muslin.

The book itself is a spiral-bound, soft-cover book within a hard cover shell. This allows you to lay the pages flat so that you can look at them hands-free as you work.

I love this book. I was already familiar with many types of printing such as linoleum and gocco, but I still learned a great deal. So I would have to say this book is for novices and experienced alike.

I guarantee you that you will come away from this book inspired and ready to create.

This book is fabulous! The projects all vary in skill level and time allotment. Lena Corwin gives step-by-step instructions so detailed anyone could follow. Lena's patterns are so fresh and beautiful. I would recommend this book to anyone.
