Silkscreening Paper/wood

Anyone know anything about where I would go to have small silkscreens
made. Everyone I call in the yellow pages do silkscreen printing but no
one seems to know where i can have screens made. Thanks in advance.

Inquire at your local custom Tee Shirt shop, If they don't make their own,
They will have the phone number of someplace local.

It's very, very easy to make your own screens. I haven't done it since
I was in high school, but...

It's just a frame with a groove running around it, you stretch the
screen and attach using a bead string (like putting a screen on a
door).

A quick google search turns up a ton of links...

Here's an online source for everything you need...

A good art supply store will likely have them.

If you're using a single color it's not difficult to make your own. Here's
a link to a web site that describes the process:

I bought a kit at the local art supply house in San Antonio. It comes with
everything you need to start out. You will need a way to make
transparencies. If you have a laser printer you can buy transparency
material at the office supply. I know a little about the process. I own a
printing company (not screen printing) and have done a few shirts and such.
I'd be happy to help with technical stuff if you get lost once you find the
kits.

We did it in a high-school photography class, wasn't tough at all.
It's something you should be able to do yourself without difficulty.
Maybe Edmunds scientific would have something of a kit?
