Prints Charming at NSDCC

I am teaching an introduction to screen printing class at the Nova Scotia Centre for Craft and Design. 

In the first weeks we explore the quality of line using a paper cut stencil as a resist for the screen.

And we explored the effects created when mixing colour whilst printing through the screen.

The solid colour of the cutting board helps envision the final print.

As always, the results are incredibly exciting!
