The materials you will need to use with the next steps are:
- Silk screen.
- Photo emulsion.
- Squeegee.
- Towels.
- Red photo dark-room light.
Ok, Ready? here we go:
- Place some towels on top of the table so you dont damage it with paint or emulsion.
- Wet the silk screen using the squeegee by spreading the emulsion on both sides, make sure you are doing this with no light present, also make sure the whole thing is wet, with no spots missed. Since you cant use normal light to check if you got the screen fully wet, use a red photo-darkroom light.
- Let it dry in a complete dark room over night.
Thanks for the comment! That's cool you're taking a class about Japanese art history. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about screen print, but I've heard a little bit about it. This sounds like a dumb comment, but I had no idea you needed to do all of this in a dark room. I should try this sometime.
