Friday was our first day as a class to work in the print room. Now that are tracings ( which has to be in Black & White with the black bits showing on the samples) which were inspired by our visual sheets was transferred on to the our own screens by Kathryn , which have numbers on the sides so we can tell which screen is who's. To start the day after signing in to the room and taking the necessary precautions before hand tying my hair up and removing jewellery off and tying long hair up. After initial health and safety we got started we was shown the techniques we was going to be covering that day .
First sample we produced that day was the screen print on to A3 paper using printing inks or paste that are placed in several coloured almond sized dollops on the top line of the mesh screen. When that is done with a wooden squeegee i applied the squeegee into to paste then with applied pressure , in one fellow swoop drag the squeegee down the screen then back up twice.
Finished product the plain piece of A3. Has now got the coloured screen print, i did this blue ink and yellow key colours from my visual sheets.
