Botanical Block Printing – A creative step-by-step handbook to make art inspired by nature is your companion on the journey of creating relief prints from scratch, always with a botanical theme and beautifully presented in Rosanna Morris’ contemporary and gentle aesthetic. Richly photographed, the book is a practical how-to guide covering getting set up, what you need and equipment, followed by a comprehensive introduction to processes. Techniques include how to make your own botanical inks, to add a personal touch to your creations. Step-by-step projects for making block prints on both paper and fabric are interspersed with interviews from fellow printmakers who specialise in natural subjects.
Bound with a Japanese-binding method, the exposed-spine allows the book to lay (and stay) open without any bending whilst it’s being used as an instructional manual.
Rosanna Morris is a Bristol based printmaker and author.
