Hand
pulled silk-screens also known as serigraphy
is basically a stencil process. A design is made in
stencil form on screen mesh by blocking out parts of
the screen. A colored ink is applied over the entire
screen mesh and pressed through using a squeegee. The
open areas of the screen allow the ink to pass through
and onto the paper underneath. The process is repeated
using a different screen for each color in the composition.
The process demonstrated
here by charlotte is original printmaking
in it's purest form. The artwork is created
totally by hand without the use of photography or pre-existing
artwork.
