Synopsis

Inky Press Productions : exclusively distributed by Light Impressions Corp [Published Date: 1977]. Paper covers, 55 pp. 2nd printing. Black and white illustrations. [From Introduction] In the late 60's when l began to work with "non silver" materials, information and good examples were scarce. I was a painting graduate student with an interest in mixing processes including photography, printmaking, sculpture, drawing and painting. My formal training in photography had been basic black and white printing. Other processes were learned slowly by watching, reading anything available, and asking questions. Often because I had no clear directions to follow or was not given a demonstration, I broke the rules. At best, exciting discoveries were made this way...at worst, time and effort produced no physical results. Such experimentation is one sure way to learn the limitations of materials and one's patience...The material in this handbook has been the basis of the workshops that l have given all over the USA for the past seven years...Because I cannot give you actual demonstrations. I have tried to make the basic steps as clear as possible. In the book you will find comparisons of the processes and Practical suggestions. I have also listed further reading, materials and products that you might find helpful. Some of the processes are covered in extensive detail in other guidebooks.
