Screen Printing with Gwen

Working with Gwen, we learnt how to screen print wonderful designs onto fabric. 


After making a design and cutting this out, we laid this onto the screens and then placed them onto the fabric. Using different coloured fabric paint we layers paint across the surface of the screen, leaving the really effective patterns where the stencil was. 

Some of the designs involved multiple pieces and could be simply ripped out from cardboard or another material.
