This is your essential guide to less harmful, but equally effective, environmentally friendly printmaking methods.

Traditional printmaking techniques expose the artist and the environment to a multitude of toxic materials. In this book, Mark Graver puts the case for non-toxic printmaking and discusses the replication of traditional techniques with less harmful, but equally effective, environmentally friendly methods.

This book covers engraving, etching with acrylic resists, using drypoint, making aquatints, mezzotints and collagraphs, and using photopolymers as well as combining various printmaking techniques.

Highly illustrated wit the works of artists from around the world, this practical and inspiring book contains everything you need to know about switching to a non-toxic printmaking practice.

Reviews for Non-toxic Printmaking

'The next installment in A&C Black's excellent Printmaking Handbook range...includes a series of ways to replicate traditional printmaking methods without the use of acids, solvents and petroleum-based materials which can be dangerous to inhale or be in extended contact with.' * Artists and Illustrators (March 2011) *
