Screen Printing a interesting, simple textile technique that allows
you as a designer to print a unique print of your choice.
The printing technique uses a woven mesh placed in a frame as a stencil for your design to be printed on to. The image that you would like to print is attached by the transfer ink or sometimes another range of printing materials. These can then be pressed onto the mesh. The next step is to uses squeegee which you drag across the screen stencil. this then forces the ink through the holes of the mesh in all the open areas of your design. Here is a demonstration of the technique used:
