Learn foam-block printing for wallpaper, fabric, and cards with ease
Art foam eliminates the traditional barriers to block printing. No cutting tools, no specialized equipment, just scissors and a pencil transform sheets of foam into printing blocks that deliver crisp, professional results. Andrea Lauren demonstrates how to carve shapes, build patterns, and layer colors using materials you can find at any craft store, making relief printing accessible whether you're exploring the medium for the first time or expanding your printmaking repertoire.
The book moves beyond basic technique into practical application. You'll learn how to create repeat patterns for wallpaper designs, develop cohesive series for greeting cards, and adapt your blocks for fabric printing. Lauren includes examples from contemporary block print artists worldwide, showing how different makers approach pattern, color, and composition. These aren't just inspirational images, they're working examples that demonstrate specific technical approaches you can adapt to your own projects.
Art foam offers genuine advantages over traditional linoleum or wood blocks: it's forgiving enough for experimentation, precise enough for detailed work, and affordable enough to support the trial and error that develops strong design skills. The 144 pages cover everything from cutting your first simple shape to building complex, multi-block compositions. Gift wrap, book illustrations, framed prints, once you understand the fundamentals, the same techniques scale across applications.
