I recently stumbled across a blog talking about this book called Screen Printing On the Cheap. I was obviously interested because screen printing looks like a whole lot of fun to learn and do. So I read up on what the book was all about. Their statement about the book is: "As educated artists, we have been conditioned to rely on making art in facilities we simply cannot afford. Screen Printing on the Cheap demonstrates a 'new school' of screen printing and makes the process more accessible to the community. In turn, screen printing makes their creative work more accessible to the masses." I'm going to buy this book. I read some reviews and it sounds like they simplified the process so that you can create a printing set-up for as cheap as possible, while still making quality prints. As a broke college kid that is interesting in learning how to screen print at least as a hobby, this book definitely sounds like a good investment. Before reading about this book, I didn't really realize that I could start printing in my garage at home. They're really appealing to a wide audience and making it easier for more people to turn their ideas into works of art.
