Have you been swapping?

Here's what me and Amy have been up to recently, lots and lots and lots of work for our community project.
Made interactive posters, gift tag leaflets, regular leaflets, small viral presents and screen printed giftbags for people who have swapped to take away!
Been crazy busy, stay tuned for the final video edit of all of this.

Screenprinting!

Last Monday we had a screen printing introduction, crazy as I’m a 3rd year. Such a shame we’ve not had access to this before, or been aware we have because we had great fun making some simple prints using simple paper stencils and luminous green paint! Now myself and Amy want to frame this baby, lovely a2 print goodness.

D.I.Y Screen Printing

This is mine and Amy's first attempt at screen printing. We made the screen using a cheap photo frame and a mesh fabric stapled over it and then covered each side with the emulsion and exposed the image onto it using the sun (which took several attempts to get the timing right)
For a first attempt I think it was a great success, needs more work to get the timing just right, also the material we used was a little too thin so it let ink through even with the emulsion on it.

Stay tuned for the 2nd attempt!
