Comprehensive and innovative, this practical introduction ranges from potato prints to multi-colour linocuts; from collage to screenprints; from prints made with pipe cleaners and burger boxes to three-dimensional indented sculpture. The advantage of the techniques covered are that they do not require expensive equipment or much space, and are suitable for all age groups. <\/p>\n<p>Easy to follow for the beginner, Handmade Prints also offers invaluable insights for the experienced printmaker. All the methods described require little specialised equipment and can be carried out at home on the kitchen table. They can be accomplished at many levels of expertise: in an artist s professional practice; as a school or college activity; or by enthusiasts of all ages to make unusual, inventive artworks or to transform home decor. The text is clearly written and highly illustrated with work done by people of all ages.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the joy of printing, building images and creating compositions by all manner of printed means.  It is full of inspiration for beginners, amateurs or professionals.&#8221; &#8211; Sarah Van Niekirk RE SWE<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread2.jpg\" alt=\"Anne Desmet\" width=\"1000\" height=\"656\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-138792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread2-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread2-620x407.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread2-940x617.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread2-230x150.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread1.jpg\" alt=\"Anne Desmet\" width=\"1000\" height=\"670\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-138793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread1-620x415.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread1-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Desmet-spread1-940x630.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h5>Anne Desmet<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.annedesmet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anne Desmet RA<\/a> is an established artist who specializes in wood engravings, linocuts and mixed media collages. She has had three major museum retrospectives to date, received over 30 international awards, and her work is in museum collections and publications worldwide. Her work can be seen throughout Europe, most notably in the Ashmolean Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. She was elected a Member of London\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalacademy.org.uk\/artist\/anne-desmet-ra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Royal Academy of Arts<\/a> in May 2011. For 15 years she was editor of Printmaking Today magazine and is the author\/editor of three printmaking books. She lives and works in London.<\/p>\n<p>The focus of her work shifts between Italy and London. Her subject matter pulls in two directions: one is essentially topographical, yet subject to metamorphoses; the other is concerned with intuitive architectural fantasies, urban myths and histories of urban destruction and regeneration. She aims to suggest the sense of timelessness and solidity that buildings can convey, as well as their impermanence and vulnerability. She uses the traditional printmaking techniques of wood engraving and lino cutting, but draws on a variety of materials to create layered collages. Her work ranges from small scale, detailed examinations to sweeping, often fantastical, panoramas viewed from a bird\u2019s eye perspective. <\/p>\n<h5>Jim Anderson<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jimpanzee.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jim Anderson<\/a> is a well-known printmaker and is a fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers. He runs courses on printmaking and is a multi-media artist based in London. After a foundation course in Cambridge, He studied English and American Literature at Oxford University, followed by printmaking at London&#8217;s Central St. Martin&#8217;s School of Art. In 1995 he was elected a member of The Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, with whom he exhibits annually.<\/p>\n<p>He works with a wide variety of different techniques; and use of found or recycled materials is paramount. Most of his prints and paintings feature handmade, recycled paper and scrap materials somewhere along the way &#8211; thus introducing into the equation elements of cookery and alchemy. He combines social satire and surrealism, and is influenced by sources as diverse as the Bible, the Beano, and the Kama Sutra. Favourite artists &#8211; for no particular reasons &#8211; include Andrew Logan, Paul Klee, Morris Hirschfield, and Scottie Wilson. Collectors of his work include actors, musicians, MPs, and peers of the realm; as well as nurses, teachers, and the long-term unemployable.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1991 he has exhibited his work in the U.K. and abroad, and has been awarded three major prizes in national exhibitions. In 1997 he founded &#8211; with Michael Sims and Christian Pattison &#8211; The Illustrated Ape magazine. Since visiting San Francisco in 1997 he has become increasingly interested in public art; and has worked in this country and abroad on various large-scale mosaic projects &#8211; the most ambitious of which so far was 2002&#8217;s series of murals at Gertrude&#8217;s Garden Children&#8217;s Hospital in Nairobi. Various mosaics can be seen in London, mostly in the Camden Town area.
