Screen Printing

Today I had an adventure in silk screen printing with my friend Andrea. I brought a cut paper leaf design to Andrea's studio and, using a thermofax machine, she was able to make it into a screen for printing.

I was able to make prints on paper and fabric, practicing a technique I had never tried before. It was a lot of fun! In March Andrea and I are doing a demonstration of silk screening and collage, and I'll be using my leaf as part of a collage. I'll be experimenting with this throughout the rest of this month and will show my ideas here. Meanwhile - thanks, Andrea, for an enjoyable lesson!
