Extra Project

A few months ago I was asked by my tutors to work as part of a group of selected students on a secret brief, representing the course and our University.

Of course, I accepted, and have been doing the project alongside my own work. Being part of a team is a great experience, and something I haven't really done before. I have learnt a great deal, and feel very proud to be representing my course and it was wonderful to be asked in the first place!

Heres a few snaps of what we have been doing...

All will be revealed soon!

Test Printing

After mixing and testing all my colours on Monday, I began testing and registering all my screens to get them all lined up perfectly, make sure everything was there and that I was happy with all my colours together.

So far I have printed the 4 block colours that will sit together on one piece of fabric, the next step is to print the 4 colours of texture over the top to get them in the right place and test to see if everything is right.

Then I can get on with the final print!

 

Mark Making And Texture

Here are a few of the results of me trying to get more texture and marks into my work. 

Using the end of a thick piece of card worked well to create lines that aren't too perfect and have a texture to them depending on how much ink is there.
