Botanical Block Printing is your companion on the journey of crafting relief prints from scratch, always with a botanical theme and beautifully presented in, printmaker and author, Rosanna Morris’ contemporary and gentle aesthetic.

Richly photographed, the book is a practical how-to guide covering getting set up, what you need and equipment, followed by a comprehensive introduction to processes and techniques. You'll even learn how to make your own botanical inks, adding a personal touch to your creations. Step-by-step projects, including making block prints on both paper and fabric, are interspersed with interviews from fellow printmakers who specialise in natural subjects.

Bound with a Japanese-binding method, the exposed-spine allows the book to lay (and stay) open without any bending whilst it’s being used as an instructional manual. The inside flap extends outwards to reveal an accurate ruler; handy to have nearby for when measurements are needed. The flap can then be folded inwards again, to bookmark a page and come back to a project later on. Finished with a burnt-orange thread running through the spine for an organic touch, this book is a real hands-on experience that's both durable and artistically crafted.

Rosanna Morris is a printmaker and Illustrator based in Bristol. She teaches printmaking and botanical drawing at art schools including the Bristol Drawing School at the Royal West of England Academy and runs her own sell-out botanical printmaking courses. She has been making large scale botanical themed woodcuts and linocuts since she was nineteen. In 2016 she co-founded Cato Press, a community printmaking studio. In 2022, Rosanna won the Modern Crafter Award from Holly Tucker, founder of Not On The High Street. Botanical Block Printing is her debut craft book.
