The debut from an exciting and up-and-coming artisan printmaker For self-taught textile designer Molly Mahon, there is something special about block printing that has stood the test of time. From the initial design process, through to the carving of the block, the mixing of the colour and the actual printing process, Molly consistently finds printing to be meditative. This book enables readers to explore this ancient craft through Molly’s contemporary designs and the influences that inspire her use of pattern and colour, before teaching them practical skills and ways to transform their creations into beautiful homeware. This is a modern, stylish and practical exploration of the traditional craft of block printing. This book is a celebration of both the art of block printing and the joy of design.
