Easy Screen Printing

Although screen printing may seem daunting, artist and instructor Kristina Schaper is here to show you just how easy and accessible the craft can be. In fact, these refreshingly “low-tech” techniques are simple enough to practice at your kitchen table, using basic wallet-friendly supplies—and can be applied to everything from clothing to tote bags and upholstery.

The book includes: 

• Introductions to the basic materials and tools (inks, fabrics, paper, and frames), plus an easy guide to making your own DIY frame from scratch.

• Illustrated step-by-step guides to core techniques, including monoprinting and creating ombre effects.

• Level-up guides to designing and using custom stencils, creating a continuously patterned surface without repeats or registration marks, and screen printing with paper.

• Discussion on screen printing’s applications for quilting and sewing.

Perfect for mixed-media artists, printmakers, sewists, and anyone looking to expand their creative skill set, this all-in-one guide will have you printing beautiful, unique fabrics for everyday use in no time.
