DAY SECOND EDITION Revised and Enlarged by AMOR FENN Author of Abstract Design NEW YORK g CHARLES SCRIBNERS SONS LONDON B. T. BATSFORD LTD. I 1933 I 5 ZJ Z H Z Wt U 1933 AND fRINTTBD IN GREAT IT OR rHH PXJBI. ZSHKR8 - T. BATSKORD. LTD., - THE GARTEN PRESS, PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. THE exhaustion of a further edition of Pattern Design and the steady demand for the work are an indication of its continuing practical value as a textbook, but it seemed advisable that it should be thoroughly revised and brought up to date and it was decided to entrust the work to Mr Amor Fenn, who, as a personal friend of Lewis F. Day, was conversant with his work and in sympathy with his aims and methods. Consequently, the book forthe first time since its appearance has received a thorough overhaul the order of the chapters has been rearranged, and that on Borders a subject Mr Fenn has made particularly his own has been transformed and re-illustrated. A number of illustrations have been redrawn or replaced, and others added, including two coloured plates, while the Editor has contributed a chapter summarising the course of the design of pattern during the past eighty years down to the present day, illustrated by the representative work of well-known English and Continental designers. It is the hope and desire of every one connected with the book that it may maintain its position as a standard work, and continue or enhance its usefulness to students and others connected with design and pattern, the importance of which in everyday life is being increasingly realised. It is with deep grief and regret that we have to record that Mr Amor Fenn was suddenly taken from us while this book was passing through the press, and consequently did not survive to see the finished result of his work.

A step-by-step guide on how to create personal and contemporary linocut prints. A linocut is a relief print created by carving a design into a printing block. It is the uncut surface, not the carved away areas, that gives you your image when you roll it with ink, lay paper on top then apply pressure to produce a print. With 18 easy-to-follow projects that can be adapted to suit your own ideas, experienced printmaker Sam Marshall guides you through the whole process - from the drawing to the carving to the inking to the printing - of creating your own beautiful prints and handmade cards whether you are working from your kitchen table or a more advanced studio set-up. By taking inspiration from everyday life, Sam helps you to build your confidence with observational drawing. Featuring step-by-step projects, the book demonstrates a range of skills with low-cost materials to produce simple linocuts, reduction linocuts and colourful multi-block prints. You will also learn more experimental techniques such as combining monoprint, chine colle, jigsaw linocuts and rainbow rolls and pick up handy tips on subjects such as 'noise' and editioning your prints. Beautifully illustrated with photographs of Sam's own drawings and linocuts, and featuring the work of 5 talented printmakers, Linocut is an essential guide to linocut printmaking. Packed with creative and practical advice to guide and encourage you, whether you're just starting out, returning to the craft or looking to expand your printmaking skills.
