Artist, designer, and teacher Swearington provides a basics-and-beyond introduction to screen-printing and fabric-dyeing tools and techniques in this how-to guide. After an introduction to the basics, the author walks beginners through the steps of printing fabric using screens and stencils, then proceeds with more advanced techniques, such as using multiple screens and repeating patterns. Helpful tips are interspersed throughout the guide, and a selection of projects highlighting the qualities of hand-printed fabrics rounds out the book. VERDICT Swearington's enthusiasm for her topic shines through, and she makes every step of the process look like a lot of fun. Copyright 2013 Library Journal, Library Journal (05/01/2013).
