In silkscreen printing, ink is pushed through a thin mesh which is supported by a frame. You can make a design by using a stencil or by applying a screen block onto your screen. Learn how to prepare the silkscreen for printing, how to install it on the wooden frame, and the materials used for insulation after completing the drawing. Later, apply the process to print botanical themes in an unconventional way.
