Description

It’s the natural inconsistencies―the accidental differences between one finished piece and another―that make hand-printed fabrics, papers, furniture, and artistic endeavors so interesting. The quirks are what show the maker’s intimate involvement in the process, and it’s that unique quality that first attracted textile designer and illustrator Lena Corwin to hand-printing.

 

Even though decorative prints are more in vogue than ever, there was once until now no up-to-date hand-printing guide―no single source explaining the tools and materials that are used today, or reflecting a recent aesthetic. Corwin has given us that guide.

 

Using step by step instructions and up-close photos, Corwin teaches crafters everything they wish to know to master stamping, stenciling, and screen printing, from making their own printing devices to trouble-shooting when plans go awry. Her inimitable collection of projects ranges from stamped stationery and simple-to-sew pouches, to stenciled tote bags and furniture, to screen-printed bed linens and upholstery fabric. There’s even a silk-screened dog bed. The writer has created original artwork for each project (full-size patterns are included in an envelope in the back of the book), in order that every crafter can achieve the same beautiful results. Or maybe not fairly the same. Needless to say: It’s the subtle differences that make hand-printing so special and alluring.
