Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:You Can Learn to Screen Print
Print Liberation will teach you how to screen print with readily available materials and easy instruction. Even if you're starting out in a scary basement or in the tiny bathroom in your cramped apartment with a $40 budget, Print Liberation will show you everything you need to know to get started. And if you're already in a rented studio with a few bucks to spend, this book can help you turn screen printing into your personal art or business. Seriously, this is a completely comprehensive how-to guide. You'll start by learning the history of the craft accompanied by graphic illustrations. Then, step-by-step photographs walk you through the ins and outs of all the main screen-printing techniques, including printing on dimensional surfaces, such as walls and goats (although the latter is not recommended). You'll even find advice about how to turn screen printing into a money-making venture, either by selling your work through galleries or by offering your services locally to make posters, T-shirts and anything else people might need. You can do it. Your imagination is your only limitation. Book News Annotation:This how-to guide on the basics of screen printing is designed for both beginners with limited budgets and artists with the resources to produce a genuinely exciting and professional presentation.

Five ready-to-print images are supplied at the end of this book to allow novices to start printing immediately. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
