Teaching Screen printing at Megalo

I love screen printing so much that I also teach screen printing on fabric at Megalo Print Studio and Gallery in Canberra.

I have just finished teaching a 6 week Thursday evening class.  

In the class we covered:

• creating designs using paper stencils and photo emulsion (light sensitive); 
• learn registration marks to create multi-colour prints;  
• experimenting printing onto different background fabrics; 
• and in our last lessons we also explored how to put your design into repeat.

Below are some images of the beautiful designs created in the class.
