Troppo Print Studio founders Sarah Murphy and Matt Feder present the launch of The Dictionary of Hand Screenprinting, a playful and educational handprinted book that explores the intricacies of hand screenprinting – both joyful and joyless.
This publication is the result of Murphy and Feder’s ongoing research into archival collections of graphic design and printed ephemera, including those held at RMIT Design Archives, the Australian War Memorial, the State Library Victoria, the National Gallery of Victoria and, most importantly, the book section at the local op shop.
