Rosanna Morris: Botanical Block Printing, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Botanical Block Printing is your companion on the journey of crafting relief prints from scratch, always with a botanical theme and beautifully presented in, printmaker and author, Rosanna Morris' contemporary and gentle aesthetic.

Richly photographed, the book is a practical how-to guide covering getting set up , what you need and equipment, followed by a comprehensive introduction to processes and techniques. You'll even learn how to make your own botanical inks, adding a personal touch to your creations. Step-by-step projects, including making block prints on both paper and fabric, are interspersed with interviews from fellow printmakers who specialise in natural subjects.

Bound with a Japanese-binding method, the exposed-spine allows the book to lay (and stay) open without any bending whilst it's being used as an instructional manual. The inside flap extends outwards to reveal an accurate ruler ; handy to have nearby for when measurements are needed. The flap can then be folded inwards again, to bookmark a page and come back to a project later on. Finished with a burnt-orange thread running through the spine for an organic touch, this book is a real hands-on experience that's both durable and artistically crafted.
