DIY Screen Printing

Reblogged from Louise Lawlor's blog:

This is mine and Amy's first attempt at screen printing. We made the screen using a cheap photo frame and a mesh fabric stapled over it and then covered each side with the emulsion and exposed the image onto it using the sun (which took several attempts to get the timing right)
For a first attempt I think it was a great success, needs more work to get the timing just right, also the material we used was a little too thin so it let ink through even with the emulsion on it.

Stay tuned for the 2nd attempt!

Break your socks!

Went to a fun little night on Thursday organized by Johnathan Robertson and a few other 3rd years to raise money for the Interactive Design final show. They had live screen printing, illustration and a few audio visual presentations including a great light piece by Mike Tierney which you can see properly here: http://www.vimeo.com/11384068

Here are a few photos from the event








I also bought this screen-printed poster, Jurrasica park ftw!
