Master stamp, stencil, and silkscreen printing without investing in a press
Start with basic potato stamps, advance to carved linoleum blocks, then move into registration for multi-color designs.
The book emphasizes bold, graphic results achievable with straightforward tools. Corwin demonstrates how to carve clean stamps from soft materials, cut precise stencils that hold up through repeated use, and construct simple screens for fabric printing. Step-by-step photography clarifies hand positions, carving angles, and ink application techniques that determine whether prints look crisp or muddy. Projects range from printed tea towels and tote bags to patterned papers suitable for bookbinding or wrapping.
144 pages provide room for both technical instruction and design inspiration. The 9.5 x 8.5 format offers clear visual reference while remaining portable enough for workshop use. Whether you're prototyping textile designs before committing to production or creating one-off printed goods, these accessible techniques deliver professional-looking results without the press.
