Screen Printing About: Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan Dorothy Markert will teach her own technique of screen printing. The images will be painted directly on the screens and each color will be printed separately, one on top of the other to build up to the finished print. This method is in keeping with the Roycroft philosophy of hand craft. The screen printing supplies are all water based and non-toxic.
