Silkscreen in Your Kitchen Sink

Silkscreen seems daunting, but you can do it just using your kitchen sink and a closet. That gives you the power to print colorful multiples on paper or fabric. Prepare a screen, transfer images using a photo emulsion process and make your first prints just the way you will do it later at home.
