Making a workbench to screenprint on.
Finished it will be 4 feet long and 3 feet deep.
I'm building in from these instructions
This is my Dad's first screenprint, made with the screenprinting table we built in his garage. To see more of his work, visit www.nealmorley.co.uk/
I switched emulsions recently because this stuff is supposed to be clear which should make multi-layer screenprinting easier. But new emulsion could require a new process, so I made this test screen to figure out how long to burn it for.
I ordered a freakin' gallon of this stuff. I don't quite do enough screenprinting to warrant mixing a whole gallon if it's only going to last 6 months refrigerated. So I figured out the proportions and mixed about a cups worth.
2 tablespoons (a little less) of sensitizer to 1 cup of emulsion. The actual ratio is 7/4 cups of sensitizer to a gallon of emulsion, which works out to 7/128. Hard to get that without getting fancy, but 2 tablespoons to 1 cup is 8/128 which seemed close enough.
I exposed the screen for 15 minutes with increments of five minutes going down the screen. It's a 150watt clear bulb 18 inches above the screen. I also focus the bulb on the frame of the screen and rotate to avoid burning a harder to clean out spot where the bulb is strongest.
All of the increments worked and washed out fine. If I get really picky, the 30 minute mark seemed like the best spot, there was some weird residue in the 15-25 minute areas, but that may have been purely from being lazy during the washout.
The 30 minute mark seemed like the sweet spot with the Speedball stuff as well, so it looks like I don't have to change my process at all! ;)

I bought this bag on a fleemarket in Seoul - maybe someone could translate me what is written on the outside.
The making of work for an upcoming group show I'm in at the ACP (Australian Centre of Photography) gallery in Sydney entitled 'Batteries Not Included'

I screenprinted my own fabric, for kicks. You can see where I didn't have enough ink on the screen at the bottom of the red & blue piece. A common enough error.

As part of Glasgow’s Active Ageing Week, a community group from 'Keep Creative', an arts and health GP referral programme, run by Depot Arts in North Glasgow took part in our ‘Growing Bolder’ Printmaking and Archive Project.
The group learned about fine art printmaking techniques and had a tour of the facilities. They watched our Master Screenprinter at work in the professional workshop, and took a look behind the scenes with our Archive Curator, gaining hands on experience visiting our fantastic on-site Archive. After selecting prints from the Archive the group wrote short responses to the images and on the final session had a go for themselves, creating their own original screenprint.
