SCREEN-PRINTING



After cleaning, coating with emulsion, exposing and drying the screen, i pinned my blank apron onto the padded table, ready to print my screen onto.


I placed my exposed screen face down onto my apron, then sturdied it with weights.


Apply a line of paint at the top of the screen, then pull downfirmly with a squeegee, thus forcing paint through the open mesh and onto the apron. Press the squeegee back upwards to collect the paint at the top again. Repeat this process 4 times for material prints.



Once printed, clean the paint from the screen with a sponge and hose, leave screen in the drying room.
