How Serigraphy was Invented

Seattle, 1979 - A little known stamp inventor discovers how to make silkscreen prints in this spoof on printmaking history. Silkscreen, known in college as "serigraphy," really developed from simple stencils in Europe and Japan, most likely, the latter introducing silk as a web to hold parts of stencils together. In this video, C. T. Chew role-plays Carl Serifeldter, playing on the name and story of the 18th Century inventor of lithography, Alois Senefelder.
