Traditional techniques in contemporary Chinese printmaking

China was one of the first civilisations to engage in printmaking. Ink, paper, printing from cut wooden blocks and moveable type were all invented there. This unique book provides both a helpful introduction to the history and traditions of printmaking in China and a comprehensive guide to traditional and contemporary printmaking techniques, including detailed and illustrated sections on different techniques including single colour, watercolour, poster colour, stencil and 'dabbed' printing.
