Needing a fundraiser for the Southern Arts Society, our late founder A.B. Snow turned to her longtime friend Mary Goslen of Winston Salem to help. Mary did her own silk-screened calendar and A.B. thought we could do that as well. So for twenty-three years now, the Southern Arts Society has been designing and silk-screening by hand this Limited Edition Calendar to sell.
   There are many different ways to produce a serigraph or silk-screen. This is the process we use. The designs are cut out of craft paper and transferred by photo emulsion to a silk screen. Varying colors of ink are put on the side of the screen and blended with a large squeegee. Then we put the large squeegee across the screen to push the ink through and onto the paper. It may take up to eight hours to print one page - 600 times. They are each a unique and original work of art.
