Description

An inspirational and practical guide to printing beautiful fabric designs with handmade stencils.

In this book, artist-maker Pauline Greuell guides you through the process of making beautiful fabric pattern designs that are printed by hand with reusable polyester film stencils that you have designed.

Pauline's unique stencil printing technique is accessible to artists of all levels, guiding you from simple steps through to more complex repeat pattern processes. With careful instruction on materials, such as working with textile ink, using different brush techniques to create depth and texture, and making layered repeat patterns, you will soon be creating your own very personal prints and patterns.

With stencil templates included for 18 beautiful designs, and step-by-step guidance for turning your printed fabrics into stunning projects - from dandelion-patterned cushion covers to a sky and sea quilt and a tomato plant tablecloth - Stencil Printing has inspiration and style on every page.
