Description

Noted Fiber Artist Kerr Grabowski leads us through the exciting process of creating texture and imagery using her versatile Deconstructed Screen Printing methods. Kerr's process capitalizes on the resist properties of dried thickened dye on a screen, crating painterly, spontaneous and organic prints. Deconstructed Screen Printing (DSP) is the crossroads where artistic intent and the "happy accident" merge.

For beginners and experts alike, this video covers the basics and demonstrates techniques that while easy to use, will yield sophisticated results that are sure to trigger the experienced artist's muse. A nationally known fiber artist, Kerr developed Deconstructed Screen Printing in the early 1990s and has been experimenting with and teaching it ever since. Her teaching style is clear, inspirational and non-dogmatic.

Included are detailed instructions on building and stretching screens, assembling a print board, choosing squeegees, mixing print paste and fiber-reactive MX dyes. Kerr demonstrates two basic screen printing stencil techniques (wax and paper), and then goes on to exciting variations of her Deconstructed Screen Printing technique. In addition to Kerr's instruction, this video is full of inspiring samples of students' work and a Gallery of artists using DSP in their own work. Deconstructed Screen Printing will help artists wanting to "get out of the box" transform their work on fabric, paper and anything that can be dyed.

About the Author

Kerr Grabowski's history as a fiber artist has been marked by her constant experimentation with and innovative approaches to dyeing and screening processes. She developed Deconstructed Screen Printing, a printing monoprinting technique allowing for a freer, more painterly approach to screen printing.

Kerr successfully integrates her love of color, mark-making, and spontaneity with the challenge of creating whimsically elegant contemporary hand painted and screened silk fabrics and wearables.
Formerly Artist in Residence at Peters Valley Craft Center in NJ, Kerr now maintains a studio in Sussex, NJ.

Kerr received a New Jersey Council on the Arts Fellowship and is published in Ornament, Surface Design Journal, Fiber Arts Design Book Six and Silk Painting for Fashion and Fine Art and Textiles Now.

I bought your DVD at the SDA conference. You said you wanted an opinion and you thought that perhaps there was too much detail. WRONG, it is wonderful, I especially liked the screen stretching demos, some of us need visuals more than to read it in a book... I am working my way through the second disk ...watching it then trying it myself. A great way to learn by doing. I am having a blast with it , it's as close to a workshop with you as I can get at the moment

Excellent value Review by Debra Gash

I watched these DVDs prior to taking a workshop with Kerr. The DVDs are well-organized, full of content, and easy to follow. Kerr goes into great detail in all aspects of the DSP process, and shares a lot of her considerable knowledge. If you are at all interested in playing with spontaneous screenprinting, I can't recommend these DVDs enough. I still refer back to them after several years of working with the process.
