Screen printing is a process in which a squeegee presses printing ink through a fine mesh screen partly covered with templates. The templates close the openings in the screen and stop the ink from reaching the paper.
Screen printing is characterised by rather flat motifs created by the even application of ink. It is ideal for the production of larger print runs or for printing designs on all kinds of materials.
About these events
The Art Workshop is an opportunity for passionate bibliophiles to find out about all aspects of book production. A wide variety of printing techniques are presented along with book-binding, the manufacture of coloured papers, and all kinds of paper-folding projects.
