Day 2 workshop experiments










I had a great time printing all day, trying different screens and colours, overprinting with discharge to reduce the intensity or fully remove parts of the image. Joanna was very encouraging  and  helpful, really working alongside me, cleaning screens etc.. so that I could make the most of my time. It really got me into screen printing again and although I didn't have time to resolve my ideas it gave me lots to work with for the summer - will I make it happen?


Day 1 Workshop preparation and experiments





Ideas for screen images - monoprint / drawing media



My images on the light box exploring ideas of Seamus - pools of light









First day print experiments working on different fabrics with reactive dyes

Weekend Workshop - textile printing

Looking forward to working with Joanna Kinnersley Taylor in her Glasgow studio this weekend, screen printing. These are some of her prints, its just the two of us, all day Saturday and  Sunday.


Joanna's studio was a warm and welcoming environment, well equipped and set up for textile printing and dyeing processes.
She kept amazing records of printed colour samples and her dye recipe book was a work of art in its own right.www.joannakinnerslytaylor.com/
