Ad Versteeg

Inducted into the Academy in 2011

He has been active in the screen printing industry since 1968, as a screen printer in the graphics industry in companies in Holland as well as in New Zealand. Later he was a teacher of screen printing techniques and the general editor of a screen printing magazine for almost 18 years. For some 7 years he has been the secretary of 'Het Zeefdruk Instituut', a non-profit organisation for the purpose of the screen printing industry, of which he was one of the founders. He has written several textbooks and translated Fespa's e-learning screen printing course into Dutch.

In 2004 he wrote 'Anything Goes at the Screen printer's' a book aimed at the layman and a marketing tool for the screen printing industry. This well-illustrated book is unfortunately only available in Dutch at the moment. Today he is an independent consultant and free-lance journalist, writing for several magazines, and photographer with a life-time passion for the process of screen printing'.
