What's Actually Inside These Printmaking Books?

In this video I flip through and review three printmaking books I've been spending time with: 📖 The Printmaking Bible by Ann D'Arcy Hughes & Hebe Vernon-Morris — the most comprehensive reference guide on the market, covering materials and techniques across virtually every printmaking discipline. Think of it as the encyclopedia on your studio shelf. 📖 Prints and Their Makers by Phil Sanders — this one is different. Master printer Phil Sanders takes you behind the scenes at the world's top printmaking workshops. More inspiration than instruction, but deeply valuable for anyone serious about their practice. 📖 Printmaking: A Step-by-Step Studio Guide by Jenny Mason-Gunning — structured like a recipe book for printmakers, full of detailed photos and step-by-step breakdowns. Approachable for beginners, genuinely useful for experienced printmakers. 🔗 GET THE BOOKS (affiliate links — I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you): 📗 The Printmaking Bible: https://amzn.to/3SnKS3m 📗 Printmaking: A Step-by-Step Studio Guide: https://amzn.to/43Iav1k 📗 Prints and Their Makers: https://amzn.to/4fXDntS ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:18 The Printmaking Bible — flip through + honest take 7:40 Prints and Their Makers — flip through + review 11:24 Printmaking: A Step-by-Step Studio Guide — flip through + review 🎨 MORE FROM MY STUDIO: ▶ My older printmaking book favorites:    • BEST Books for Printmakers | Techniques, T...   #printmaking #arttutorial #printmakingbooks #artbooks #printmaker Whether you're building your first printmaking library or looking to go deeper into collagraph, monotype, intaglio, or relief printing — I share my honest take on what each book does well and who it's really for.
