process, organic resist materials, resist processing, and plasma
etching. Designed as a tutorial for researchers with no experience
in the field, as well as those experienced in microlithography.
Will also prove invaluable to those already involved in
microlithography. Includes numerous references for more detailed
reading on specific aspects of microlithography.
Whatever art you practice, chances are you're going to come across
image transfer techniques. These valuable techniques allow you to
reproduce a unique image from any source and apply it to a myriad
of surfaces. The options are endless! Playing with Image Transfers
is a beautiful and helpful resource that will teach you the four
image transfer methods: Packing Tape, Solvent, Medium, and Acrylic
transfers, while highlighting basic methods and offering projects
across a range of interests and applications. You'll learn how to
make beautiful items, including gift boxes, albums, sketchbook
covers, wall art, accordion books, and much more. Once you've
mastered the techniques, you'll also explore multiple surfaces as a
base for transferring - wood, fabric, paper, canvas, and book
forms. A beautiful gallery will show the use of image transfers in
a wide variety of high-end artistic works to get your creative
juices flowing. The "Considerations" in each chapter offer
suggestions on how a single project can be expanded or further
adapted if you're looking to challenge yourself past the basics. By
the time you finish this informative book, you'll be well-equipped
to use your own images in your creative work.
Print Index: A Guide to Reproductions is designed to aid the user
in locating illustrations of prints dating from the early
eighteenth century through the mid-1970s. It contains data on and
provides access to many thousands of prints by more than twenty-one
hundred printmakers found in one hundred English-language
monographs and exhibition and collection catalogues. The Print
Index lists works alphabetically by title under the artist or
artists. The entries identify the printmaker, the title of the
work, the date, the print technique used, and the publications
(books or catalogues) in which a reproduction of the print appears.
An index references the prints by subject and title where the title
is distinctive or expressive.
Provincial towns in Britain grew in size and importance in the
eighteenth century. Ports such as Glasgow and Liverpool greatly
expanded, while industrial centres such as Birmingham and
Manchester flourished. Market towns outside London developed as
commercial centres or as destinations offering spa treatments as in
Bath, horse racing in Newmarket or naval services in Portsmouth.
Containing over 100 images of towns in England, Wales and Scotland,
this book draws on the extensive Gough collection in the Bodleian
Library. Contemporary prints and drawings provide a powerful visual
record of the development of the town in this period, and finely
drawn prospects and maps - made with greater accuracy than ever
before - reveal their early development. This book also includes
perceptive observations from the journals and letters of collector
Richard Gough (1735-1809), who travelled throughout the country on
the cusp of the industrial age.
