Botanical Block Print: The new craft and design book for simple modern block and linocut prints, perfect for 2025 pattern art carving projects

Botanical Block Printing is your companion on the journey of crafting relief prints from scratch, always with a botanical theme and beautifully presented in, printmaker and author, 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 and techniques. You’ll even learn how to make your own botanical inks, adding a personal touch to your creations. Step-by-step projects, including 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. The inside flap extends outwards to reveal an accurate ruler ; handy to have nearby for when measurements are needed. The flap can then be folded inwards again, to bookmark a page and come back to a project later on. Finished with a burnt-orange thread running through the spine for an organic touch, this book is a real hands-on experience that’s both durable and artistically crafted. —- ISBN: 9780008607739 | ISBN10: 0008607737 | ISBN-13: 978-0008607739
