It Looks Nice and Sells Hockey

Christina and Dennis are a husband a wife team who make stuff in Detroit. Since they began dating in 2005, they’ve seen The Decemberists nine ten eleven times. The most disastrous meal they’ve ever cooked together has been an unfortunate pot of vegetarian chili. Dennis has given Christina both the best and worst Valentine’s Day gifts she’s ever gotten: a Nintendo Entertainment System and a colander, respectively. Dennis’s eighth favorite actor is Tim Curry. Dennis’s street art inspired paintings can be seen at Rivers Edge Gallery, 323 East, Naka, and online at dennisjacobsart.com. Christina will soon complete a print design program at the College for Creative Studies, and an online printmaking portfolio is in the works. Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, seriography, and serigraph. Hours: Wed - Sun: 11 AM - 6 PM Mon & Tues: Closed
