Fun, colorful and easy to understand book on how to silkscreen.

This book covers everything from how to set up your own home studio, how to build your own equipment and what to buy, focusing on using what you already have and what you can recycle. Silkscreen NOW clearly shows step by step how to make a silkscreen, design your artwork, put your artwork on the screen using the photo-emulsion system, and how to print.

The book also has a series of inspiring, funky projects to practice what you have learned. Silkscreen NOW comes with a DVD keyed to each chapter with the author and fabric designer Kingi Carpenter demonstrating every technique. Not only is the book easy and accessible, it covers everything you need to get started from scratch.
