Screen printing (serigraphy) is the youngest printmaking technique and at the same time the most versatile and versatile printing process - both artistically and industrially. Screen printing offers artists possibilities that no other printmaking technique offers: the interaction of graphic, painterly and photographic processes. Colour can be introduced into the printmaking process in very high intensity - both in opaque and transparent consistency - in a way that is otherwise only possible in painting. Moreover, artists are no longer dependent on paper as a printing medium, but can include materials such as wood, glass, plastics, metals, canvas, etc. in the printing process.

The HfG's screen printing workshop is equipped with a semi-automatic printing table for the DIN A1 format, plus a manual printing vacuum table with the same print size and two further vacuum manual printing tables for the DIN A2 size. Three textile printing tables currently measure 60 x 140 cm, and a larger fabric printing table is being planned. There is also a copying facility designed for large formats, a wash-out basin and a drying cabinet.

In the meantime, the former solvent ink system has been completely converted to water-based inks, which can be used to print on paper, textiles, plastic, Plexiglas, metal, wood and other materials.

Courses are offered for undergraduate and postgraduate students. Outside of course times, the workshop is available to students for the realization of their own projects as well as for artistic and experimental work.
