Printmaking at the Edge

Printmaking at the Edge by Richard Noyce

Printmaking at the Edge explores the innovative techniques printmakers are using today. The topics covered range from the challenges of new technology and materials (for example, the latest high-tech plates and speciality papers and inks) to the persistence of traditional techniques and the new directions they are taking (for example, digital techniques being used with silkscreen and wood engraving).

A wide variety of approaches to the process and content of printmaking are dealt with and in addition there is a study of some of the roles of printmaking within contemporary visual art.

This book is a vital source of information for students and includes interviews with prominent international artists, revealing the secrets behind their work and the possibilities for the future
