Screen printing is one of the oldest and most common methods of imprinting. It is a technique that transfers ink through a mesh stencil, onto a substrate such as textiles, paper, wood, electronics, etc. using a squeegee. The ink passes through a stencil made from blocked out mesh, to reproduce a copy of one’s artwork. One color is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multi-colored image or design.
Loud Flower's studio has been built slowly over the course of the last 4 years. I started my home screen printing set up with a couple of screens, a homemade plywood tabletop press, a UV lightbulb in a clamp light and a hose in my backyard. The studio is now made up of a 4-color 4-station press, Little Buddy conveyer dryer, dozens of screens, a proper darkroom/washout room (!!!) and exposure unit. What I most love about screen printing is the wide range of accessibility. You can print in your bathroom with $100 of materials or in a mega warehouse with $100k press.
