Screen printing

Today was the optional screen printing workshop. I had been waiting ages for this in much anticipation as I had never done it before, but had heard good things about it. 

The initial concept within screen printing was quite confusing as I had never done it before. After a strong brief from Jo we got on with oiling our images and using a UV light box to fix them to a thin nylon canvas. After washing off the chemicals with water, we then heated the canvas in a warm oven to preserve our images. My images were of an old school camera and old school VW Beatle.

Overall the day was really productive and it is a strong technique which I will be able to use in the future.
