Otherwise known as silkscreen printing, serigraphy is a handmade printmaking technique that produces high quality, limited edition fine art prints. Serigraphs began growing in popularity with many artists in the 1960s due to their high color density, increased saturation, and textures unique to the process. After 15 years of creating animated art, Eyvind Earle began making serigraphs in 1974.

The process begins by transferring a design onto a silkscreen and blocking off any non-printing areas with a stencil or mesh. This step is repeated as many times as needed to produce the number of screens needed to reproduce all the variations of color from the original painting -- there were often over 50 screens involved in the making of each one of Eyvind Earle's serigraphs. Next, ink is forced through the exposed areas of the screen with a squeegee. This process is repeated for each color until the final image is complete. Unlike giclées, the handmade quality of serigraphs means that each printing is unique.
