China was one of the first civilisations to engage in printmaking. Ink, paper, printing from cut wooden blocks and moveable type were all invented there. This unique book provides both a helpful introduction to the history and traditions of printmaking in China and a comprehensive guide to traditional and contemporary printmaking techniques, including detailed and illustrated sections on different techniques including single colour, watercolour, poster colour, stencil and 'dabbed' printing.
