And, with this thorough resource, anyone can take advantage of these techniques in their own home studioeven those with no printmaking background. The simple processes dont require fancy equipment. Use silkscreen decals with lightsensitive emulsions to create a master image: then cover with glazes, and voil! Use colored slips for unique monoprints. Work with stencils, relief blocks, or stamps, trying a variety of materials to mark the clay surface. Each method is carefully laid out in numerous photos, and shown on a finished piece.
