We have been imagining and producing collectible silk screen prints and other original art since 1994. We have shown in dozens of locations from Sausalito, California, up the coast to Sydney, British Columbia. We love color, and screen-printing provides incomparable control of color. Leggett Art Studios is proud to be carrying on the skilled craft of the serigraph.
Creating the idea for the image is the first step in the serigraph. A scaled final size is established and an amberlyth is cut using a knife. This is the film positive and one is cut for each color. Then the films are burnt to a screen with a coat of light-sensitive emulsion. The positive blocks out the light, leaving a stencil in the screen. After taping and registration, ink is pushed through the screen with a squeegee by hand. If you are interested in learning more about our hand made, limited edition serigraphs find us on Hood Canal in Washington State.
