Description
Learn how to print beautiful fabric designs using handmade stencils.
In this inspiring and practical guide, artist-maker Pauline Greuell shows you how to create striking, contemporary patterns printed by hand using reusable PET film (Mylar) stencils of your own design.
Pauline's distinctive stencil printing technique is accessible to artists of all levels, taking you from simple motifs through to more complex repeat pattern processes. With instruction on materials, working with textile ink, using different brush techniques to create depth and texture, and making layered repeat patterns, you will soon be creating your very own prints and patterns.
With stencil templates included for 16 beautiful designs, and step-by-step guidance for turning your printed fabrics into stunning projects – from dandelion-patterned cushion covers to a wave quilt and a tomato plant tablecloth – Stencil Printing is packed full of inspiration.
