Printmaking for Collage is an inspiring and practical guide to creating your own hand-printed papers and transforming them into authentic, meaningful and dynamic collages. Without the need for expensive equipment, it shows how to achieve exciting results by guiding you through selecting materials and printing on a range of surfaces, from delicate translucent tissues to heavy watercolour paper. Packed with over 400 illustrations and 38 step-by-step projects, this comprehensive book opens up a world of creative possibility. Beginners will gain confidence through clear instruction and progressive projects, while more experienced artists will discover fresh approaches that encourage exploration and experimentation. Internationally renowned artist and educator Sally Hirst combines printmaking and collage in her practice, and pushes the boundaries of both processes. The energy and experience she brings to her work is reflected in her approach to creative education.
