Silk-Screen Printing on the Glass

A printing technique whereby a screen mesh is used to transfer opaque or translucent ceramic ink on the surface of glass. The kiln fired printed image is permanent. With screen printing method we can easly transfer onto the glass: graphics, texts and even (processed digitaly) photography. Silk screen printing is used mainly for utility object such as informational or commemorative plaques. However, we also successfully include it for creating artistic objects and decorative glass in interiors.

Screen printing is performed on smooth, colored or neutral glass. The effect is durable and resistant to weather conditions so it can be applied for inside and outside objects.The screen printing technique suits new interiors, allowing to create modern graphic compositions. But It works as well combined with traditional techniques, such as stained glass.
