Silkscreening is a very exciting processes for the textile designer. It is more of a production process than stencilling but it can be easy and relatively inexpensive to set up. As a creative process, it allows for a great deal of flexibility and innovation. You can use silkscreening to print designs on anything from t-shirts to garments to fabric yardage.
