review 1: Print Workshop is a delightful book from Yellow Owl Workshop's founder Christine Schmidt. Not only is it filled with cute and whimsy designs for which the shop is known, there are useful tips on various forms of printing. You'll learn how to make your own stamps, stencils, as well as several sun-printing and image transfer techniques. The book teaches different ways of making items including stationery, patterned paper, decorative objects and wall art, all of which make really cool handmade gifts.This is a great book for those new to DIY or printing. The tutorials are very easy to follow and well-illustrated, and many are kid-friendly. The materials required for most of the projects are also easy to source - many can be found at home (like vegetables and string) or in shop... mores. Only some of the sun-printing projects require more specific materials like StencilPro and cyanotype paper.
review 2: I've checked this book out of the library several times and will probably end up buying a copy. I am a professional artist and, although I have some experience in printmaking, it isn't my area of expertise. But it is a fascinating process. This book is great for anyone interested in exploring the possibilities of printmaking utilizing at-hand or easy to obtain supplies. It is not about the more complex print processes such as copper plate etching or mezzotint, but more about variations of relief printing, stenciling and even some solar methods. less
