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.
