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.

Here’s what a few folks have to say about Deconstructed Screen Printing for Fiber and Paper
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

WHAT A WONDERFUL COMBINATION OF LEARNING AND HUMOUR. HARRY MADE QUITE AN IMPRESSION! BRIAN KEEPS POPPING HIS HEAD ROUND THE DOOR WANTING TO KNOW IF I NEED ANY SCREENS CLEANED. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!
AM WAITING FOR SUPPLIES TO ARRIVE AND THEN THE PLAY WILL BEGIN. MANY THANKS.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT EXTRA PIECE OF DUCK TAPE?

I just wanted you to know that I just watched your DVD and thought it was FANTASTIC! You have inspired me to give Deconstructed Screen Printing a try. Your instructions were very clear and concise. Perhaps one day I will be lucky enough to take one of your workshops.
Thanks for sharing DSP--- Mary, US
I started watching your DVD. I really like it; it's very good. You go slowly and patiently. It's a great teaching tool, and inspirational too. Thank you for doing such an excellent job and adding to the field in this format. This is SO much more effective than reading about the process. I like how you just keep printing and printing and printing... that is how it is.
Wendy, US
I received the dvd on thursday already and watched it right away. it was very exciting to watch and i especially liked your little tips. I have done some DSP before...
Anyway, i found your dvd much more profound and interesting and i'm looking forward just to do some experiments.
Thank a lot again
