Review by Library Journal Review

Commercial artists have used screen printing with great success since the early 20th century, particularly in the textile industry. Advances in inks and equipment have made it a more practical craft for studio artists and home craftspeople. In this manual for beginners, Stromquist, a printmaking teacher, describes basic supplies, techniques of printing multiple colors, cleaning up, and troubleshooting. The simple step-by-step projects include greeting cards, labels, and household textiles. A photo gallery of screen-printed art work is included. Recommended for all arts and crafts collections.
