| What is a serigraph? The word serigraph was formed from the Latin word seri (meaning silk) and the greek word graphos (meaning to draw). A serigraph is a print created utilizing the silkscreen process. A silkscreen is a frame with silk or other fine fabric stretched tightly across it. An image is created directly on the fabric screen using a stencil to form the image and to block the areas where paint is not needed. Water-based or oil-based paint is squeezed or brushed through the screen, creating the image on the paper below. Serigraphs are a generally much higher in quality and more labor intensive than lithographs, therefore the cost is usually higher. |
