“How to Silkscreen Posters and Shirts” is a superbly detailed and well-illustrated tutorial on the process of silk screening is provided by Shannon Gerard at No Media Kings. It is a must-read for any artist interested in the process.

This well-written ‘How to’ account states 4 phases in the silk screening process:
1. Choosing and Preparing Your Screen
