Finally getting around to this
2 years ago
I had planned to take a class or something, but I’m pretty much just experimenting and teaching myself because I need to silkscreen my Christmas presents and I have less than a week to finish all those damn scarves.
So I got my former art teacher to explain the photo emulsion process to me in full and explicit detail, and am drying my screen as I type. After choir tonight I will be exposing my screen, and hopefully tomorrow I can get my paints from Sarah and start screening! yay.
Materials

So it ends up that my boyfriend has the materials (screen, squeege, etc.) to do this. Now the hard part: finding a design that we both like enough to reproduce. I want to do this in the next two weeks (before school starts).

you’ll be surprised how messy it is & how great the results are. Crisp clear lines, it’s wonderful.

Great for gifts

I took a silkscreening class in college. It was fun and pretty easy, if you have the right equipment. I made personalized t-shirts as holiday gifts for everyone in my family. They loved ‘em!
