Guarrilla silkscreen at the Carbo

The silk screen printing is a millennial technique born in China. Today can be very complicated or very simple and rudimentary , but its importance lies in that this print can be easyly repeated; once we have obtained a first model, the print can be repeated many times.

At this workshop we propose to extract the essence of the basic screen printing: which is the minimum effort for the maximum result? How can we print precariously with the best result? We know one way, but it surely can get worse …
