I have written a book!
Modern Block Printing, published by Hardie Grant, demonstrates that block printing is a wonderful way for anyone to express themselves.
Beginning with the basics of stamp design and carving, I demonstrate how you can then enhance your prints using colour and pattern. To help develop you skills further, there are 17 step-by-step projects such as Upcycled Card Gift Tags, a Potato-printed Tote Bag and Paper Lanterns, which explore different ways in which block printing can be used.
A full disclosure on shipping prices. Much as I would like to, I can not offer free shipping on the book and I can not ship the book overseas. If you are an International customer you can buy the book from here. For Australian customers, if you buy the book from an online retailer, you will get free shipping. If you buy from me, you will get an autographed copy. Either way, I thank you for supporting me and buying my book!
Rowan is committed to slow art and appreciates the joy and satisfaction that comes with working by hand. Rowan prints all of her original linoprints in the front sunroom of her house in Lewisham, Sydney. It is a small space (no room for a big press), but a happy and productive one, proving that you don't need a lot of room to make beautiful art.
