You Can Learn to Screen Print

Print Liberation will teach you how to screen print with readily available materials and easy instruction. Even if you're starting out in a scary basement or in the tiny bathroom in your cramped apartment with a $40 budget, Print Liberation will show you everything you need to know to get started. And if you're already in a rented studio with a few bucks to spend, this book can help you turn screen printing into your personal art or business.

Seriously, this is a completely comprehensive how-to guide. You'll start by learning the history of the craft accompanied by graphic illustrations. Then, step-by-step photographs walk you through the ins and outs of all the main screen-printing techniques, including printing on dimensional surfaces, such as walls and goats (although the latter is not recommended). You'll even find advice about how to turn screen printing into a money-making venture, either by selling your work through galleries or by offering your services locally to make posters, T-shirts and anything else people might need.

You can do it. Your imagination is your only limitation.

Includes 5 plastic screen print templates.

Author notes provided by Syndetics

Jamie Dillon and Nick Paparone met twelve years ago while skateboarding in front of a Subway restaurant in a suburban strip mall. Throughout the years they have collaborated on many diverse projects, including everything from printing wallpaper to re-constructing the peak of Mount Everest. In 1999 they founded the Print Liberation, a design and print studio dedicated to pounding the malleable nature of culture with typography, T-shirts and screen-printed objects. Currently the two live in Philadelphia where they can be found working hard every day to make new things for the world and its people.
