Ecological Printmaking

This practical book explains how printmakers can be more ecological in their practice. It suggests small changes an artist can make from, for example, tracking their materials to making ink from home-sourced pigment. In meaningful ways, it inspires art practices that benefit the environment and enrich understanding of the making process. Above all, it encourages ways of exploring the potential of print in expressive and challenging ways that do not hurt the planet.
