FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
This is a remarkably creative and inspiring book for beginning printmakers and crafters. Beyond the usual sections on materials, tools, and techniques, it offers one- and two-page vignettes on Gauguin, Munch, 19th-century Japanese woodcuts, etc. Diehn, the author of five previous books, explores eraser prints, carving linoleum blocks, woodcuts, and making printing blocks out of polymer clay. Her approach is largely decorative, with her surface often wrapping paper, notecards, book covers, calendars, and the like. For beginners, this is a more exciting choice than Colin Walklin's Relief Printmaking: A Manual of Techniques (LJ 7/97). Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
