Roni Henning - Water-based Screenprinting

"Roni Henning is a master screenprinter who has worked with many famous artists, including Andy Warhol, Red Grooms and Romare Bearden. She teaches screen printing at her studio and at the Lower East Side Printing School in New York City.

Screen printing was traditionally an oil-based medium that used toxic solvents and chemicals.

Roni Henning pioneered a change to water-based screen printing methods that are safer for artists and the environment. .
She shows how to create monotypes, a direct-to-screen watercolor process that can be done outdoors"

Roni Henning, One of the pioneers in the research of non-toxic, environmentally safer water-based screenprinting inks invites you to see what's new. The colors are glowing and rich, the textures and techniques are innovative and the process is safe and user friendly.
Screenprinting, once abandoned by many art schools and artists as too unhealthy with it's solvents and oil-based inks is having a new resurgence. Nothing can compare with the painterly surface that you can get with a screenprint. Not even digital.

Henning is the author of two books on water-based screenprinting. Her latest WATER-BASED SCREENPRINTING TODAY published by Watson-Guptill covers all the newest hands-on techniques and computer generated photo stencils. Henning is an Artist and a Masterprinter and has worked with some of the top Artists and Publishers in the field. These include Warhol, Bearden, Grooms, Youngerman and Pace Gallery.

Today she continues her innovative techniques in Screened Monoprinting. Besides teaching at the Lower East Side Printshop in NY she holds week-end workshops in her studio sharing her 30 years of knowledge.
