What's 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.
A mixed-media serigraph is a print in which "spot" colors are applied, by means of
serigraphy, onto an image created by other means.
