THE SILK SCREEN PROCESS: The silk screen (also known as serigraph) process is a method of making multiple art pieces by hand. A stencil is adhered to a stretched piece of silk (other fabrics are also used). Areas not to be printed are blocked out. In the areas to be printed, paint is forced between the mesh of the fabric screen by hand with a sqeegee. Each color to be deposited on the paper reequires a separate screen.

If you brush your fingers lightly over the printed area yu can feel a slight raise where paint has been deposited on the paper.

This series of limited edition original hand pulled silkscreens by artist Jim Pollock were done at Trout Bros. Studios on imported 90 lb. Arches cold pressed water color paper. Each multiple is signed and numbered by the artist. Edition size is 250 plus 100 artists proofs. Paper size: 16.25 inches wide, 22 inches height.
