Crown Point Press's founder, Kathan Brown, presents thirteen "magical secrets"--Creative strategies exemplified by the different approaches to art-making taken by artists she has worked with. Sophisticated and yet straightforwardly explained, the magical secrets help the reader understand fundamental strategies such as how to creatively use the physicality of materials or how an artist may enter a mental state that encourages creative connections. Explanations of printmaking processes and reproductions of prints help to illuminate the secrets. An accompanying DVD features Brown's "Magical Secrets" lecture.
