BookPal × TalezoPrinting by Hand
A modern classic of DIY printmaking—updated for a new generation of makers.
Printing by Hand is a practical, inspiring guide to creating bold, graphic prints using stamps, stencils, and simple silkscreen techniques—no press required. Originally published in 2008 and embraced by makers worldwide, this updated edition brings Lena Corwin’s accessible, design-forward approach to a new audience.
Inside, you’ll find step-by-step instructions for 19 projects, spanning stationery, textiles, home décor, and more—from fabric pouches and wrapping paper to table linens, T-shirts, artwork, and furniture. Each project includes a ready-to-use design template, allowing readers to re-create the book’s patterns or adapt them into their own work.
This edition includes full-size pattern sheets housed in an envelope, along with an all-new block-printing project that expands the book’s range of techniques. An extensive how-to section covers tools, materials, and process fundamentals, while practical reference charts help you match inks to surfaces and achieve the color results you want.
Accessible, versatile, and highly visual, Printing by Hand is both an entry point for beginners and an enduring studio reference for designers, makers, and anyone interested in hands-on pattern-making and print design.
