Screenprinting is a printing technique that applies ink directly onto a desired surface through a screen with areas blocked off by a stencil, this can be achieved through a variety of similar processes. It is a method of printing that has been traced back to China during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 CE) and continues to be a very popular, widely used technique today in both the fine and commerical art world. This tutorial will demonstrate a time and cost effective alternative to the photo emulsion process of screen printing.
