Screen Printing - Layering textiles with colour, texture and imagery NEW!
Claire Benn & Leslie Morgan
Pub. Committed to Cloth
Price £27.50 spiral bound
Although several books have been written on the topic of screen printing, Leslie Morgan and Claire Benn wanted to create a record of their own experiments and experiences - as every individual brings their own approach to any process. Inspired through experience with William Weil and Jane Dunnewold, Leslie and Claire have adapted and developed some of their processes to suit their own methods. As explored in this book, silkscreen can be a remarkably versatile tool in the hands of an enquiring mind and an attitude of curiousity. Capable of perfect precision, the screen can also create marvelously organic, fun and spontaneous results. Committing to exploring the potential of the screen, you'll be amazed and delighted by what you can achieve. This book contains a DVD.
