Screen printing is a process that requires a stencil that is placed under the a screen and then ink being forced through the stencil onto the material below. Screen printing with stencils is best for blocks of colour.
Instructions:
- Mesh is stapled to a wooden or metal frame
- Masking tape stuck around underside of the screen
- Stencil design cut
- Stencil placed under frame but above paper
- Line of ink placed at one end of screen
- Use squeegee to draw ink across screen, pressing firmly
- Carefully lift screen
- Evaluate and repeat
I personally done severally different attempts at screen printing with one image and even experimented with the coloured ink to create a little bit of diversity, as seen below. I really enjoyed this task as it was a trial and error type of experiment and allowed for all types of mistakes and still produced a good piece of art. If I were to carry out this task again, I would try a bigger range of colours rather than blue. Overall, I am very happy with the outcome and would like to try this again in the future.
