Economy Silk Screen Squeegees 10 inch

The Economy Silk Screen Squeegee is an essential classroom resource for exploring silk screen printing techniques. Made from plantation pine with a shellac finish and featuring a neoprene rubber blade, this durable squeegee allows for smooth and even application of paint or ink during printmaking. Its size (10 inches / 25cm) makes it perfectly suited for use with the Economy Silk Screens 12 x 15 inch frame (NAR081).

Screen printing encourages students to explore creative design through a hands-on process that blends artistic freedom with structured technique. Simply apply paint or ink to the top of a silk screen and use the squeegee to press and glide the colour through the mesh. The result is a crisp and detailed image on the surface below. Suitable for use on paper, cardboard, canvas, fabric and clothing, this squeegee is perfect for layering colours, creating patterns and experimenting with textures.
