Book Reviews of Collagraphs: And Mixed Media Printmaking (Printmaking Handbooks (PH))

Book Review: Some useful ideas
Summary: 3 Stars

There are some useful ideas in this book, but you have to dig them out. The authors have given us a hodge-podge of techniques, often without the detail one needs to use them confidently. There isn't much literature around about making collagraphs, so any information at all is welcome. Buy it if you're interested in this subject, but be prepared to live with trial-and-error printmaking till you get the hang of it.
