Print Workshop

Hand-Printing Techniques and Truly Original Projects



Stop letting obstacles keep you from printing it your way: after all, it's your wedding invitations, your band T-shirts, and even your deck of cards, right? Christine Schmidt, founder of Yellow Owl Workshop, takes your hand and leads you through a crash-course on printing with techniques, materials, and surfaces you never dreamed you could take on at home.

This is a book for low budgets and high ambition. Read it and you will learn how to put images of things onto other things. You will start by rolling up your sleeves. Your shirt will be stained anyways. At some point, you will harness the power of the sun.
 
Go ahead, look inside. You will see that you do not need a fancy studio to print a T-shirt or a picnic blanket. There is no specialized machine required to print anything you want in any room you want. A mural, a dartboard, a deck of cards, these are all possible.
 
In a week or a month, you will wake up to find you know words like acetate and substrate. You will be comfortable talking about ink and shopping at military supply stores. Perhaps most important of all, you will be printing images of things onto other things.
