Screen printing basics 1

Screen printing is a stencil method of print making. It is also known as silkscreen, serigraphy, and serigraph printing. A word processor file called "Screen printing basics 1" has been added to the Tutorial (password-protected) section of the art classes website. In the file I describe the different types of stencils used in screen printing and the types of images for which each one is best suited.

Galway Art School

Professional artists Susanna Lambeck and Colm MacSuibhne live work and raise a small family in Annaghdown, County Galway, Ireland. As a couple that share their main interest in art, they draw inspiration and encouragement from each other. Their latest project is Galway Art School which opened its doors in January 2012 offering art courses for all ages and levels of ability. Both Susanna and Colm have a passion for teaching and both feel strongly that art skills can be taught, and that art education can and should build the students confidence.
