Product Description
It’s the natural inconsistencies—the accidental differences between one finished piece and another—that make hand-printed fabrics, papers, furniture, and works of art 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 until now no up-to-date hand-printing guide—no single source explaining the tools and materials that are used today, or reflecting a contemporary aesthetic. Corwin has given us that guide. Using step-by-step instructions and up-close photos, Corwin teaches crafters everything they need 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 author has created original artwork for each project (full-size patterns are included in an envelope at the back of the book), so that every crafter can achieve the same beautiful results. Or maybe not quite the same. Remember: It’s the subtle differences that make hand-printing so special and alluring.

Aesthetically beautiful, but brilliantly written too. December 30, 2008

Lena Corwin has created a book that was more than i could have hoped for. As a novice in the printing game, I was pleased to discover that she has broken down the fundamentals of various forms of print mediums into easy to understand steps that anyone could follow. The topics covered in depth include stamping, stencilling and silk screen printing, and she has provided several projects in each category (and none of them daggy nanna style projects!), complete with templates and artwork to kickstart your printing. You can make quilts, linen, artwork, stationery, stencil walls, and make upholstery fabric. Photos are clear, aesthetically beautiful and serve to illustrate the methods described. I would fully recommend this book to novices and more experienced printers alike.

I am in love with this book. it is very well made, the moment I read it I wanted to go get all the materials to try every single item described in the book. the descriptions are both easy to understand and detailed. there is a lot of good tips and reminders. the photos are very very helpful. even if you are not going to make any printing any time soon, still you should get this book because it is very inspiring :)

This book is filled with amazing projects that are not only beautiful, but fun to do. I have already printed my own lampshade and did it all for less than $10! Awesome! I would highly recommend this book to any one who is a DIY-er. Fun projects and beautiful layout. The design of the book is great.
 Inspiring modern design printing basics November 25, 2008

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.
