This book reveals the secrets of hybrid and combination techniques. Combined techniques are
often used by printmakers as tricky ways of achieving particular
results, and then not fully acknowledged or detailed in the information
that accompanies the print when it is exhibited. Combination printmaking has a long history, but
the explosion of media now available to printmakers has opened up many
new possibilities. Learning the techniques associated with creating
hybrid prints is, at the moment, a case of
trial-and-error for most printmakers, unless they are lucky enough to
have a tame and generous printmaking friend who will share their
secrets; most printmakers closely guard the secrets of how they make
their unique prints. This book will explain a lot of these 'secret' methods and techniques.
