Printing by Hand has sold more than fifty-thousand copies since its first publication in the summer of 2008, and the book's author, Lena Corwin, has remained a sought-after instructor and popular craft influencer ever since.
This new paperback edition features all of the content of the original, including design templates printed on full-size pattern sheets in an envelope in the back of the book. A whole new generation of readers will love discovering Corwin's techniques for stamping, screen-printing, and stenciling by hand. Chapters offer step-by-step instructions for creating 19 different projects—stationery, fabric pouches, wrapping paper, tablecloth and napkins, T-shirts, artwork, furniture, and more--including an original, all-new block-printing project. For each, the author has created and included an original design template so that readers can achieve the same beautiful results shown in the book. In addition to the projects, the book includes an extensive how-to section and useful charts for matching surface to ink or paint and for getting the color you want.
